There are new treatment options for tennis elbow that can get you back to the activities that you love!

Tennis elbow is a term to describe pain felt at the outside of the elbow that can be caused by a few different structures. This diagnosis is not exclusive to tennis players and is felt by a wide variety of individuals. Tennis elbow frequently includes dysfunction at the neck or shoulder, which may in fact be the cause of your elbow pain. At Summit Physical Therapy, our therapists are specially trained in the new best practices to assess the neck, shoulder and elbow to identify the different types of tennis elbow and target your treatment to the cause to optimize treatment.

Symptoms of tennis elbow include:

  • Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow

  • Weak grip strength

  • Possible pain at night

  • Elbow pain when gripping

  • Your dominant arm is most often affected; however, both arms can be affected

Tennis elbow can be a complex condition, and it can be caused by—or complicated by—neck and shoulder issues. Proper, thorough diagnosis from our physical therapists will determine the best treatment for tennis elbow. Even if you have a severe case, our experts can create a plan to resolve your issues and get you back to the activities you enjoy.
