Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow also known as Lateral Epicondylitis
This is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. Not surprisingly, playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition. But several other sports and activities can also put you at risk.
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. The forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse (repeating the same motions again and again).

This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow.

Physiotherapy treatment helps a lot to improve from this condition.

 Homecare: Applying moist heat at painful area is much effective.Avoid any activity which aggravates the pain such as squeezing, stirring, chopping etc.
