Arm Pain Chiropractor Treatment

Ocala tennis elbow, the layman’s term for Lateral Epicondylitis, is the most prevalent illness of the upper body.

But you do not have to be a tennis player to experience lateral epicondylitis. Tennis elbow is caused by excessive strain in the muscles of the forearm (wrist extensor group) which is commonly seen in tennis players, carpenters, secretaries, manual laborers and many more professions. So it can be deduced that any activity requiring repetitive wrist extension can cause tennis elbow, states Dr Renny Edelson DC. In 9 out of 10 cases of tennis elbow, there is localized pain in the tendo periosteal junction where the common extensor tendon has its roots (outer aspect of the elbow). Some patients with tennis elbow will feel pain radiating to the back of the forearm and wrist area.

FL tennis elbow can be a challenge because it needs lengthy treatment course due to the lack of a tendon sheath. The common extensor origin is more muscle like than tendon like, except that it has a very poor blood supply and is not benefited by the fluid nutrition that is found within a tendon sheath.

Your Chiropractor at Ocala Chiropractor will perform a thorough history and examination including orthopaedic and neurological testing to determine the extent of your tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Then a certain plan of management that is made just for your case will be developed.
