Tennis Elbow Treatment in Vellore

Pain on the outer elbow with gripping, lifting, or shaking hands — common in desk workers, tradesmen, and racquet players.

Tennis elbow is overload of the common extensor tendon on the outside of the elbow. Rest alone rarely fixes it; graded loading exercises do.

Symptoms we look for

  • Ache on the outer elbow
  • Pain gripping a kettle, mug, or door handle
  • Weak grip, especially with arm straight
  • Tenderness just below the bony point on the outside

Benefits

  • Slow, heavy loading of wrist extensors
  • Ergonomic changes
  • Progressive strength work

Trade-offs

  • Complete rest for weeks
  • Deep massage that spikes pain
  • Continuing painful gripping tasks unchanged
Home care
