Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition caused by overuse or repetitive strain of the forearm muscles and tendons. It often leads to pain along the outside of the elbow, weakness with gripping, and discomfort during everyday activities such as lifting, typing, or using tools. Symptoms may develop gradually and worsen without appropriate treatment.
Integrity Orthopedics provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for tennis elbow, with care focused on relieving pain, restoring function, and preventing recurrence. Diagnosis begins with a detailed clinical examination to assess tendon involvement, strength, and range of motion. Treatment plans are individualized based on symptom severity, activity demands, and response to prior care.
Nonoperative Treatment
Most patients experience improvement with nonoperative treatment. Options may include activity modification, bracing to reduce tendon strain, physical therapy to improve strength and flexibility, and targeted injections to manage pain and inflammation. These approaches are designed to promote tendon healing while allowing patients to maintain daily function.
Surgical Treatment
When symptoms persist long term despite appropriate nonoperative care, surgical intervention may be considered. Surgical debridement with tendon repair is performed to remove damaged tissue and restore tendon integrity. The goal of surgery is to relieve pain, improve strength, and support a reliable return to activity.
Integrity Orthopedics delivers evidence-based care for tennis elbow, guiding patients through both conservative and surgical treatment options with clarity and a focus on durable outcomes.
