Tennis Elbow Relief in Blackman, Murfreesboro TN
Tennis elbow is overuse irritation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, and despite the name, it's just as common among office workers, tradespeople, and anyone with repetitive gripping or wrist motion. Left unaddressed, the irritation tends to build gradually into a nagging, chronic issue.
Treating Tennis Elbow in Blackman
Despite the name, tennis elbow shows up far more often in office workers and tradespeople than in tennis players - it's overuse irritation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow from repetitive gripping or wrist motion. Left alone, that irritation tends to build gradually into a nagging, chronic problem. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years in Murfreesboro treating exactly that kind of repetitive-strain injury.
In the Blackman community, we regularly see tennis elbow in patients whose home projects, yard work, or hobbies involve repetitive gripping tasks rather than the sport itself.
Signs of Tennis Elbow
- Pain on the outside of the elbow
- A weak grip or discomfort when shaking hands
