Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is a particular kind of tendinitis (tendon inflammation) in the elbow. Tennis elbow can be excruciatingly painful alongside severely restricting the  range of motion. Tennis elbow is caused by overuse of the elbows and is very common in athletes who repeatedly go over the same motion such as tennis players.

Overview


Tennis elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a strain resulting from irrational stress placed at the origin of the common extensor tendon which results in tendinosis. Clinically the diagnosis is made by tenderness observed over the lateral epicondyle that worsens with resisted wrist extension. This condition most commonly affects people between the ages of 30 and 50 but it can affect people of any age and both men and women.



Causes


  • Repeated Abuse: Tennis elbow can be caused by engaging in repetitive activities that involve the forearm muscles, such as gripping, twisting, or lifting for an extended period.

  • Overuse wear and tear: Excessive usage of the forearm muscles without sufficient recovery time and rest can result in tendons wear and tear resulting in tennis elbow. 

  • Activities like Painting, plumbing, and playing musical instruments are examples that involve repetitive motions.



Symptoms


The tennis elbow is characterized by pain radiating from the outside of the upper part of the forearm (below the region where the elbow bends). In some cases, pain extends down the arm to the hand and wrist. Other signs and symptoms include:

  • Burning sensation along the length of the arm or on the outer edge of the elbow 

  • Weakness in the elbows and forearms 

  • Pain when performing forearm-related activities (e.g. holding a cup of water opening a door extending the forearm)


Ayurvedic View


Asthi vaha sroto dushti-  it's a condition where there is mainly involvement of kandara (tendon) along with prakupita (aggravated) vata dosha in elbow area- sandhi pradesha (joint forming structures), which results in adika shoola (severe pain), weakness, aankunchana prasarana kashta chesta (pain) and restrictions with movements, this is tennis elbow, when there is pain in lateral or outer side of elbow. Ayurveda's approach is to reduce the symptoms and quicker healing by bringing dosha back to prakruta awastha (balance state), thereby increase range of movement of the affected joint, nourish the dhatus (strengthen tissue) by ayurvedic panchakarma treatment.
