Tennis Elbow

This common tendon injury affects far more office workers and weekend athletes than it does tennis players.
Tennis Elbow Overview
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an overuse injury of the tendons that attach to the outside of the elbow. It most often affects people whose work or hobbies involve repetitive gripping, lifting, or wrist motion, and it reflects gradual tendon degeneration rather than simple inflammation, which is why treatment focuses on tendon healing, not just rest.
If tennis elbow is affecting your daily life, our team in Bryan, TX can build a personalized plan to treat tennis elbow and help you move comfortably again. Every tennis elbow evaluation starts with a careful review of your symptoms and history.

When to Seek Care
Seek evaluation if elbow pain doesn’t improve after several weeks of rest, bracing, and activity changes, or if it’s limiting your grip strength and daily tasks.
