Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. This injury occurs when the tendons that attach to the elbow become overused, often from repetitive motions in activities like tennis, other sports, or even daily tasks. While commonly associated with athletes, tennis elbow can affect anyone who engages in repetitive arm movements. At Surge Wellness, we specialize in diagnosing and treating tennis elbow, helping you alleviate pain and restore full function to your elbow and arm.

If left untreated, tennis elbow can lead to chronic pain and reduced strength in your grip, making it difficult to carry out simple tasks like lifting objects, typing, or even shaking hands. At Surge Wellness, we take a personalized approach to your care, assessing the severity of your condition and tailoring treatment to your specific needs. Our goal is to reduce pain, restore flexibility, and strengthen the muscles and tendons affected by tennis elbow, allowing you to return to your normal activities without discomfort or limitation.

How We Treat Tennis Elbow

At Surge Wellness, our treatment for tennis elbow combines physiotherapy and registered massage therapy for a well-rounded recovery plan. Our physiotherapists use techniques like manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities such as ultrasound or laser therapy to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing. Specific exercises are prescribed to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the elbow, helping to restore function and prevent recurrence. We also focus on ergonomic education and modifying movements to prevent further strain on the elbow.

Registered massage therapy plays a key role in the treatment of tennis elbow by addressing muscle tension and reducing pain in the affected area. Our therapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to target the muscles and tendons around the elbow, promoting relaxation and reducing inflammation. By combining the benefits of physiotherapy and massage therapy, our integrated approach ensures that you receive comprehensive care for your tennis elbow, leading to faster recovery and long-term relief from pain.
