Tennis Elbow Care in Oldham & Huddersfield
Tennis Elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by inflammation of the tendons in the forearm, specifically at the outer aspect of the elbow. It commonly occurs due to repetitive motions and overuse of the forearm muscles. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive approach to managing tennis elbow, focusing on improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
Chiropractic care for tennis elbow typically involves spinal adjustments to improve spinal alignment and joint mobility in the forearm. By ensuring proper spinal function, chiropractors can address any underlying issues that may contribute to the development or persistence of tennis elbow. Additionally, chiropractors may utilize other manual therapies such as soft tissue manipulation, myofascial release techniques, and targeted exercises to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing of the inflamed tendons.
Supported by Research
Research supports the effectiveness of chiropractic care in treating tennis elbow. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics demonstrated that chiropractic care was effective in reducing pain and improving functional outcomes in practice members with tennis elbow. By addressing the underlying causes and providing appropriate treatment, chiropractors can help alleviate symptoms, enhance forearm muscle function, and improve overall elbow health.
