What is Tennis Elbow?

Lateral epicondylitis, commonly referred to as “tennis elbow,” is one of the most common and infamous elbow injuries. Essentially this is a muscle strain caused by overuse, which can cause a series of small and painful tears in the tendon. Although named for the athletes who commonly suffer this injury, this condition impact many people who make repetitive motions with their elbows, including plumbers, painters, and similar. Tennis elbow is also similar, but distinct, from medial epicondylitis, or “golfer’s elbow,” which can also be extremely painful.
