Tennis Elbow Treatment in Overland Park, KS

Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players—it’s a common overuse injury that can affect anyone who repeatedly grips, lifts, or twists objects. Whether you’re an athlete, a dedicated DIYer, or someone who types for hours a day, chiropractic care can provide lasting relief from tennis elbow pain without relying on medication or surgery.

What is Tennis Elbow?

Also known as Lateral Epicondylitis, tennis elbow is a form of tendonitis that causes pain and inflammation in the tendons around the outside of the elbow. It occurs when repetitive movements lead to small tears in the tendons, resulting in pain, weakness, and stiffness in the forearm and wrist.

Despite its name, tennis elbow isn’t exclusive to tennis players. It can result from any repetitive gripping or wrist motion, such as:

• Racket sports (tennis, badminton, squash)
• Baseball, softball, or cricket
• Weightlifting or repetitive gym workouts
• Typing or using a computer mouse for extended periods
• Hobbies like knitting, painting, carpentry, or playing an instrument

When performed too often or with poor form, these activities can strain the tendons in your arm, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.

Signs & Symptoms of Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow typically presents as:

• Pain or tenderness on the outside of the elbow
• Radiating discomfort into the forearm and wrist
• Weak grip strength, making it difficult to hold objects
• Pain when lifting, gripping, or twisting (such as turning a doorknob or opening a jar)
• Stiffness in the elbow and forearm

A related condition, golfer’s elbow, affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow in a similar way.
