"IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers expert care for Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), providing accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment with physiotherapy, rest, and pain relief to reduce outer elbow pain and restore function"
Lateral Epicondylitis, commonly known as Tennis Elbow, is a painful condition affecting the outer part of the elbow. It is caused by the degeneration of the tendinous attachment of the extensor muscles that help in wrist and finger movement. Despite its name, the condition is not exclusive to tennis players; it can affect anyone involved in repetitive arm and wrist activities such as typing, painting, or using tools.
Pain management for Tennis Elbow focuses on reducing inflammation and discomfort. Common approaches include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), topical analgesics, and corticosteroid injections for more severe cases. These methods help control pain, allowing patients to participate effectively in rehabilitation and restore elbow function without aggravating the injured tendons.
Bracing involves using a forearm strap or counterforce brace to relieve stress on the tendons attached to the lateral elbow. These supports reduce strain during activities, promote healing, and offer pain relief. Braces are especially helpful during daily tasks or sports, providing stability without completely restricting movement.
PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of platelets from the patient’s own blood into the damaged tendon area. The growth factors in PRP stimulate healing and tissue repair, making it especially effective for chronic cases of Tennis Elbow. PRP is a minimally invasive option aimed at reducing pain and improving long-term tendon health.
