Tennis Elbow Treatment in New Braunfels, TX
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) causes pain, stiffness, and weakness on the outer elbow and forearm — and despite the name, most of our patients with this condition have never picked up a racquet. Repetitive wrist and forearm movement from typing, lifting, or manual work is just as common a cause.
Common Symptoms
-
Sharp or aching pain on the outer elbow
-
Discomfort with gripping, lifting, or twisting motions
-
Weakness in the wrist or forearm
-
Tenderness near the lateral epicondyle (the outer bony point of the elbow)
What Causes Tennis Elbow
-
Repetitive stress from racquet sports, manual labor, or computer work
-
Poor ergonomic posture or improper lifting technique
-
Incomplete healing from an earlier strain that never fully resolved
Our Approach to Treatment
Care focuses on correcting joint dysfunction, relieving soft tissue stress, and restoring normal movement patterns:
-
Adjustments to the elbow, wrist, and shoulder to correct alignment issues feeding the problem
-
Myofascial release and/or dry needling to reduce deep muscle tension
-
Kinesio taping for support and improved circulation during recovery
-
Rehabilitation exercises to rebuild grip strength and forearm endurance
If elbow pain is interfering with your work or workouts, don't wait for it to resolve on its own — overuse injuries like this one tend to worsen, not improve, with continued strain.
