Understanding Tennis Elbow: Causes and Symptoms

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that occurs when the tendons in your elbow are overloaded, usually due to repetitive motions of the wrist and arm. Despite its name, athletes are not the only people who develop tennis elbow. This condition can affect anyone who engages in activities that put repeated stress on the forearm muscles.

Common Symptoms of Tennis Elbow:

Pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow
Weak grip strength
Pain that worsens with forearm activity, such as holding a racquet, turning a wrench, or shaking hands
