Elbow/Forearm - Lateral Epicondylitis
Welcome to Back 2 Life Chiropractic, your trusted source for holistic health solutions. If you're experiencing elbow and forearm pain, you've come to the right place. Our experienced team specializes in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow. We understand the impact this condition can have on your daily life, and we are here to help you find lasting relief.
Understanding Lateral Epicondylitis
Lateral epicondylitis refers to the inflammation of the tendons that connect the muscles of the forearm to the outside of the elbow. It typically occurs as a result of repetitive motions, such as gripping, twisting, or lifting. While commonly associated with tennis players, this condition can affect anyone who performs activities that strain the forearm muscles.
Common symptoms of lateral epicondylitis include:
- Gradual onset of pain on the outside of the elbow
- Weakened grip strength
- Tenderness or swelling around the affected area
- Pain when performing gripping or twisting motions
If left untreated, lateral epicondylitis can worsen over time and significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. Seeking proper treatment is crucial to prevent further damage and promote healing.
Treatment Options
At Back 2 Life Chiropractic, we offer a comprehensive range of effective treatment options for lateral epicondylitis. Our knowledgeable team will assess your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan to address your specific needs.
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Our skilled chiropractors use precise spinal adjustments and manipulations to restore proper alignment and relieve pressure on the affected nerves, promoting overall healing and pain reduction.
- Physical Therapy: Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen the forearm muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance your range of motion. They will also provide guidance on ergonomics and proper body mechanics to prevent further strain on the affected area.
- Cold Laser Therapy: This non-invasive treatment approach uses low-level laser therapy to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote tissue healing at the cellular level. Cold laser therapy enhances blood flow and stimulates the body's natural healing response.
- Massage Therapy: Our skilled massage therapists utilize various techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Regular massage therapy can help alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall well-being.
- Custom Orthotics: In some cases, custom orthotic devices, such as forearm braces, may be recommended to provide support and stability to the affected area, promoting proper healing and preventing further strain.
