How Dellon Institutes Can Help Cure Tennis Elbow

July 31, 2011 - PRLog -- Tennis elbow is a common term for a condition caused by overuse of arm and forearm muscles that results in elbow pain. You don't have to play tennis to get this, but the term came into use because it can be a significant problem for some tennis players.
Symptoms of tennis elbow include:  pain slowly increasing around the outside of the elbow. Less often, pain may develop suddenly.  Pain is worse when shaking hands or squeezing objects.  Pain is made worse by stabilizing or moving the wrist with force. Examples include lifting, using tools, opening jars, or even handling simple utensils such as a toothbrush or knife and fork.
Tennis elbow cannot be diagnosed from blood tests and rarely by X-rays. Rather, it is usually diagnosed by the description of pain you provide to your doctor and certain findings from a physical exam.
Since many other conditions can cause pain around the elbow, it is important that you see your doctor so the proper diagnosis can be made. Then your doctor can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Tennis elbow usually is successfully treated by medical means -- such as cortisone injections -- and only rarely requires surgery. (http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/guide/tennis-elbow, 7-26-11)
