Tennis elbow


What is it?

Tennis elbow is a painful condition occurring on the outside of the elbow around the bony structures.

The muscles that extend the wrist backwards attach onto the arm bones at this point.

With overuse of their tendons, muscle-tendon junctions or muscle bellies they can become inflamed.
