Dr. Kevin McCarthy offers a variety of treatments to alleviate pain and restore elbow function:
Dr. McCarthy's approach ensures a personalized treatment plan that focuses on your recovery and your return to pain-free activities.
The most common causes of tennis elbow include repetitive wrist and arm motions, overuse of the forearm muscles, and activities that require gripping or lifting. These can lead to inflammation of the tendons that attach to the elbow, often resulting from sports like tennis or activities like painting and typing.
Common symptoms of tennis elbow include pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow, stiffness, weakness in the forearm, and pain that may radiate down the forearm or worsen with gripping or lifting objects.
Tennis elbow surgery is typically necessary when conservative treatments, such as rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, fail to relieve pain and restore function after 6 to 12 months. Surgery may also be considered if there is a significant tear in the elbow's tendons or if the condition severely impacts daily activities.
