  1. ROLE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY IN TREATING TENNIS ELBOW

  2. TENNIS ELBOW CAN BE CAUSED BY ANY ACTIVITY THAT REQUIRES AN EXCESSIVE USE OF THE MUSCLES THAT STRETCH THE BACK OF THE HAND TOWARD THE FOREARM.

  3. TODAY, THE PRIME PHYSIOTHERAPIST IN INDIA TAKES UPON ITSELF TO EDUCATE YOU ON TENNIS ELBOW. A DEGENERATIVE ILLNESS CALLED LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "TENNIS ELBOW," AFFECTS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IN INDIA. THE AILMENT WAS INITIALLY DESCRIBED IN THE YEAR 1873, BUT THE TERM "LAWN TENNIS ELBOW" WASN'T USED UNTIL THE YEAR 1882. IT IS CAUSED BY OVERUSING THE WRIST EXTENSORS, WHICH ARE THE MUSCLES IN THE FOREARM. THIS PRODUCES PAIN AND INFLAMMATION ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ELBOW. IN SPITE OF ITS NAME, IT IS NOT NECESSARILY BROUGHT ON BY ENGAGING IN THE SPORT OF TENNIS.

  4. Tennis elbow can be caused by any activity that requires an excessive use of the muscles that stretch the back of the hand toward the forearm. Some examples of such activities include prolonged use of a screwdriver, carrying heavy bags, making a fist or even making chapati at kitchen. Tennis elbow is characterised by pain and sensitivity on the outside aspect of the elbow, namely in the region where the bone may be felt directly under the skin. This pain could be felt in the upper part of the arm, or it might be felt in the lower area of the arm. The symptoms of tennis elbow could be made worse by undertaking activities that encourage these muscles to work hard, such as lifting heavy objects, or by holding objects that have round handles, such as hammers or tennis racquets. Tennis elbow is a common condition among tennis players. Because of the nature of their jobs, typists painters and even house wives are just as susceptible to developing tennis elbow as anyone else.

  5. A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IS REQUIRED TO GET AT A DIAGNOSIS FOR IT. INITIALLY A physiotherapist In Delhi will ask you to move and flex your arm and muscles as part of the diagnostic process to localise the source of the discomfort. Some scans, such x-rays or MRIs, could be performed to rule out the possibility of other conditions, like arthritis. It is an inflammation that happens when the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the bones become painful and weak. This condition is caused by this.
