TENNIS ELBOW

Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, isn't just for tennis players. Activities like painting, hammering, gardening, golf, and playing instruments can cause it. Our Tennis elbow treatment in Red Deer helps relieve pain and weakness along the outer elbow or forearm caused by repetitive strain, leading to inflammation or micro-tears in the tendons.

SYMPTOMS

  • Burning pain at the outside of the elbow.

  • Numbness or tingling.

  • Weakness.

  • Pain with gripping objects.

DIAGNOSIS

This can often be diagnosed clinically based on symptoms and a detailed history/exam. However, we do have the ability to use point of care ultrasound at Horizon to evaluate for any tendon abnormalities.
