Struggling with nagging elbow pain that just won’t go away? You might be dealing with tennis elbow—and no, you don’t need to play tennis to get it.
What Is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow (also called lateral epicondylitis) is caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons in your forearm. It leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, especially during activities like:
Gripping objects
Typing or using a mouse
Lifting or twisting motions
Playing sports like tennis or pickleball
It’s common among athletes, office workers, tradespeople, and anyone who repeats the same arm movements.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractors take a whole-body approach to healing—not just treating the pain, but also finding and fixing the underlying cause. Here's how:
1. Full Body Assessment
Chiropractors look at how your shoulder, wrist, spine, and posture may be contributing to the problem. They focus on how everything works together, not just where it hurts.
2. Gentle Adjustments
If your elbow, wrist, or spine isn’t moving properly, that can put extra stress on your tendons. Chiropractic adjustments help restore normal motion, relieve pressure, and support healing.
3. Hands-On Muscle Therapy
At Graybar Chiropractic we use therapies such as
Electrical stimulation or “E-Stim”
Mechanical Traction or Intersegmental Traction
Which can reduce tightness, break up scar tissue, and improve blood flow to the injured area.
4. Rehab and Exercises
You’ll get custom stretches and strengthening exercises to:
Improve flexibility
Support healing
Prevent the pain from coming back
These exercises can usually be done at home in just a few minutes a day.
Is It Safe?
Yes! Chiropractic care is non-invasive, drug-free, and personalized to your needs. At Graybar Chiropractic we assess your health and recommend the best plan of care for you.
You Don’t Have to Live With Elbow Pain
Tennis elbow can make simple tasks frustrating, but relief is possible—without surgery or medication. Chiropractic care helps your body heal naturally, so you can get back to doing what you love.
