Tennis ElbowTennis elbow is irritation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, often caused by repetitive gripping, lifting, twisting, or overuse. It can make it painful to hold objects, use tools, shake hands, or perform work and sports activities. Even though the pain is felt at the elbow, the problem may involve the wrist, shoulder, neck, or movement patterns as well.
Chiropractic care may help by reducing tension and restoring better movement through the arm, shoulder, and spine. When the body compensates for weakness, stiffness, or poor mechanics, the elbow often ends up doing too much work. Addressing the full kinetic chain may help relieve stress on the irritated tissues and support healing.
At Chiro One, we may use chiropractic adjustments, upper cervical specific care, X-rays, manual therapy, exercise programs, muscle stimulation, cupping, shockwave therapy, and Advanced Muscle Integration Technique to support recovery. Neural Pathway Integration may also help when coordination or compensation patterns are part of the issue. This allows us to address more than just the sore tendon and work on the underlying mechanics that may be keeping it irritated.
If tennis elbow has not improved with rest or general treatment, a more detailed evaluation may help. Chiro One focuses on finding the cause and helping you recover with a plan that fits your body.
