Tennis Elbow Treatment
Over the counter pain medications containing ibuprofen or aspirin are usually among the first treatments for tennis elbow pain. The application of ice to reduce any swelling and lessen pain is the next step. Rest and massage are also effective. A tennis elbow strap, which serves as a counter-force brace, can also be worn to reduce pain, eliminate strain on the muscles and prevent further damage.
I also recommend exercises to strengthen your elbow. For further details please enter your name and email address in the box on this page and I will send you my free Tennis Elbow Report

Causes of Tennis Elbow
Most healthcare professionals agree that repetitive motion is the major cause of tennis elbow, leading to miniscule tears in the forearm tendon that attaches to the elbow.
Tennis is not the only cause of Tennis Elbow
Because tennis involves repeated use of the elbow, often for long periods of time, tennis is a major cause of elbow injury and hence the term “tennis elbow“. However other sports such as golf that involves repeated use of the elbow can also cause tennis elbow. Jobs requiring repeated use of the elbow, such as mechanics and joiners can similarly cause tennis elbow.
