Tennis Elbow effects nearly 70% of the adult population of the United States.

May 19, 2008 - PRLog -- Tennis Elbow and Pain
Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, effects nearly 70% of the adult population of the United States at some time in their life.  While most people can work and get through their normal day, many are forced to give up activities that aggravate the condition and cause an increase in pain.  This may include tennis, playing of an instrument, computer work, gardening, arts and crafts, and writing.  The current medical treatments of cortisone injections and surgery can have benefit, but are not always successful.  They are also invasive procedures that can cause additional damage through scar tissue, and in the case of cortisone injections, a deterioration of the bone, tendons, and ligaments.
