Tennis Elbow / Golfers Elbow Treatment in Dalkeith
Pain That Goes Beyond the Court
Tennis or golfer’s elbow , also known as lateral or medial epicondylitis, is a common condition involving pain around the outer part of the elbow, often related to overuse of the forearm muscles. While commonly associated with sports, it can affect anyone who performs repetitive arm or wrist movements.
Who Is Most Likely to Develop This Condition?
Despite its name, it also affects individuals engaged in activities that involve repetitive wrist and arm movements. Occupations and hobbies such as painting, plumbing, carpentry, computer use, and playing musical instruments may increase the risk of developing symptoms associated with this condition.
Recognising The Signs of a Problem
Individuals with tennis elbow often experience persistent pain on the outer elbow that may radiate down the forearm. Everyday activities such as gripping objects, turning door knobs, shaking hands, or lifting even light items can become painful. Some people may also experience morning stiffness and a weakened grip strength alongside these symptoms.
How The Whole-Body Connection Works
While pain may be localised to one area, underlying factors can often involve broader structural patterns. Shoulder posture, neck alignment, and lower back function can influence how the arm moves and bears load during activities.
At Dalkeith Chiropractic, we assess how your overall body structure may contribute to elbow strain. Our ABC™ method is designed to help identify and address areas of misalignment, which may affect nerve function and muscle tension in the arm.
Our Focus Goes Beyond Local Pain
Rather than focusing solely on the painful area, we assess how your spine and other joints function as part of an integrated system. By identifying and addressing structural factors that may influence movement, we help support the body’s natural processes for recovery.
Our approach is designed to improve mobility in the elbow and surrounding joints, while also addressing any compensatory patterns that may have developed. This strategy aims to support optimal biomechanics throughout the kinetic chain.
Self-Care Routines to Promote Better Outcomes
In addition to your in-office care, we may suggest specific movements and stretches to support the rehabilitation of the affected tissues. When performed consistently, these exercises can help improve function and may reduce the risk of recurrence.
Regaining Function for a More Comfortable Life
Many patients who have experienced persistent elbow pain find that our structural approach may help them return to activities they had modified or limited. Whether it’s gardening, sports, or everyday tasks, our goal is to support your ability to engage fully in the activities that matter most to you.
