Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)

Lateral Epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow due to overuse of the wrist and finger extensor muscles. It often develops gradually from repetitive motions like gripping or wrist extension and can lead to burning pain and reduced grip strength. At Spine & Joint Solutions, most patients find relief through conservative treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, and physical therapy. For more advanced healing, platelet-rich fibrin is used instead of steroid injections to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Surgery is rarely needed and typically only considered if other treatments are not successful.
