Elbow pain when lifting, gripping, or typing? It might be Tennis Elbow.

Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles — not just in tennis players, but also in gym-goers, office workers, and manual laborers.

Symptoms

Symptoms often include:

  • Pain on the outer part of the elbow
  • Weakness in the grip
  • Discomfort during daily tasks

Progression and Treatment

Without proper care, the condition can worsen and limit hand and arm function.

Treatment options range from:
  • Physiotherapy
  • Braces
  • Shockwave therapy
  • Minor procedures (in severe cases)

As an orthopaedic doctor and sports medicine specialist in HSR Layout, I provide personalised treatment plans for long-term relief and recovery.
