What Is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons. It commonly affects athletes, manual laborers, and office workers who perform repetitive arm motions. Without proper treatment, tennis elbow can lead to chronic pain and reduced grip strength, making everyday tasks difficult.

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow

  • Pain or burning sensation on the outer elbow

  • Weak grip strength, making it difficult to hold objects

  • Increased discomfort when lifting, gripping, or twisting

  • Stiffness and tenderness in the forearm

  • Pain that worsens with repetitive arm movement

How We Treat Tennis Elbow

Whether you're an athlete or simply experiencing pain from everyday activities, tennis elbow can be a frustrating condition. At DBC of Texas, our Fort Worth and Hurst clinics offer non-surgical solutions to help you regain strength, flexibility, and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

We understand that tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) affects people differently. That's why we create a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs, which may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to your wrist, elbow, and shoulder can help restore proper joint alignment, reducing strain on the tendons that attach to the outer part of your elbow. We also address any restrictions in your neck and upper back that may be contributing to your elbow pain.

  • Physical Therapy: Our skilled physical therapists will design a customized exercise program to strengthen your forearm muscles, improve grip strength, and increase flexibility in your wrist and elbow. This helps to stabilize the joint and reduce stress on the affected tendons.

  • Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage can help alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve circulation in your forearm and elbow. This can promote relaxation, decrease inflammation, and enhance the healing process.

  • Neuromuscular Rehabilitation: We utilize specialized techniques to re-educate your muscles and improve movement patterns. This helps to restore proper biomechanics, reduce abnormal stress on your elbow, and prevent re-injury.
