Symptoms include:
-
Elbow Pain
-
Forearm Pain
-
Pain with grabbing objects
If you are experiencing any or all of these symptoms then you might be suffering from a condition called Lateral
Epicondylitis, more commonly referred to as Tennis Elbow, a condition commonly seen in tennis players, computer
users, and manual laborers.
Pain is felt near the outside portion of the elbow bone or slightly in front of it. Many times the pain will move
into the forearm. Pain is usually increased with grabbing or picking up objects and/or when bending the wrist
backwards. You might also notice weakness in the forearm muscles when performing normal daily activities. It is
usually caused by overuse of the many muscles of the forearm. This creates small tears in the muscles which will
eventually lead to scar tissue formation as well as pain and inflammation.

So within a month of beginning treatment, I was back to pain-free playing without having to take any time
off...Thanks for Performance Chiropractic and Dr. Conley, I am a more flexible athlete and am confident I will
be able to play tennis for a lifetime.
