Beyond the Court: Tackling Tennis Elbow in Everyday Life
Did You Know...
If you've ever thought tennis elbow was only for those wielding a racket, think again! This uncomfortable condition arises from inflamed tendons in the elbow, often triggered by repetitive motion. That's right—it isn't just for athletes. Anyone whose job involves repeated arm motions is fair game.
And the symptoms can make even simple, everyday tasks feel like a challenge. That combined with the fact that tennis elbow originates from repetitive motion means it's crucial to address and improve your biomechanics.
That's where we come in. Rest assured, our care doesn't stop at the spine! Our expert team of body mechanics has the know how to help get you back in alignment and feeling your best from head to toe.
Why It Matters
And get this. Tennis elbow isn't a fan of the "grin and bear it" strategy. It typically won't just fade away without some form of intervention—but the good news is that those interventions don't need to be invasive at all.
Next Steps
That said, there are two super simple strategies that we recommend to help reduce the discomfort associated with tennis elbow. The first is an at-home exercise routine designed to bolster your supporting muscles.
The second is—you guessed it—receiving adjustments, as needed, to enhance the motion of your elbow joints. And whether you spend your days on the court, behind a desk, or behind the line, we're here to help with all of the above.
Until next week, make time for your self-care. Be sure to have your next appointment scheduled and to favorite our social channels for more!
