Tennis Elbow Treatment in Lakewood, NJ

Tennis elbow is a painful condition that results from repetitive forearm and wrist motions. Usually, it affects the elbow on the dominant side of the body. While swinging a racquet is probably the most well-known cause, it is not the only cause. Many mechanics, carpenters, painters, manicurists, and plumbers are also prone to developing this overuse injury, which is more formally known as lateral epicondylitis.

Tennis elbow often improves with rest. Sometimes, all that is needed is a short break from the activity that caused it. If needed, however, you can receive professional treatment for your elbow pain at Advanced Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute (AOSMI) near Lakewood, New Jersey. At AOSMI, we specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, including tennis elbow, and we offer the latest treatment options—both conservative and surgical—for elbow pain.

How Is Tennis Elbow Treated?

After evaluating your injury and confirming your diagnosis, an elbow specialist at AOSMI can suggest a treatment plan to help you recover and get back into the swing of things. We typically recommend PRICE therapy for tennis elbow, which involves:

Protecting the injured elbow with a supportive brace
Resting for several weeks and avoiding any activities that worsen the pain
Icing the inflamed area to reduce swelling
Compressing the elbow with an elastic wrap
Elevating the affected arm above heart level during rest

Additionally, over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce painful inflammation in the elbow. We can also suggest a customized physical therapy program to build up the forearm muscles and improve grip strength. If appropriate, we may discuss steroid injections, Tenex, or surgery to relieve pressure on the injured tendon and repair damaged tissue in the elbow.

At AOSMI, you can explore your treatment options for tennis elbow with a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon. Contact us today to request an appointment at our state-of-the-art sports injury clinic near Lakewood, NJ.
