HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR TENNIS ELBOW
Tennis elbow is a painful condition that occurs when tendons in
your elbow are overworked, usually by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm.
Despite
its name, most cases of tennis elbow occur in people who don't play tennis.
People whose jobs feature the types of motions that can lead to tennis elbow
include plumbers, painters, carpenters and butchers.
The
pain of tennis elbow occurs primarily where the tendons of your forearm muscles
attach to a bony bump on the outside of your elbow. Pain can also spread into
your forearm and wrist.
Causes
Tennis elbow is an overuse and muscle strain
injury. The cause is repeated contraction of the forearm muscles that you use
to straighten and raise your hand and wrist. The repeated motions and stress to
the tissue may result in a series of tiny tears in the tendons that attach the
forearm muscles to the bony prominence at the outside of your elbow.
As the name suggests, playing tennis —
especially repeated use of the backhand stroke with poor technique — is one
possible cause of tennis elbow. However, many other common arm motions can
cause tennis elbow, including:
·
Using plumbing tools
·
Painting
·
Driving screws
·
Cutting up cooking
ingredients, particularly meat
Symptoms
The pain associated with tennis elbow may
radiate from the outside of your elbow into your forearm and wrist. Pain and
weakness may make it difficult to:Shake hands,Turn a doorknob,Hold a coffee cup
