Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow causes pain and decreased motion of the elbow and arm due to swelling of the tendons on the outside portion of the forearm. The cause of this condition is from extensive overuse of the muscles and tendons in the region of the elbow. For this condition, physical therapy is primarily used to reduce the swelling and inflammation and restore function.
Elbow injury
An elbow injury can accompany other arm injuries or remain an isolated injured portion of the arm. It can strike anyone for a variety of reasons. Pain in the elbow can come on gradually, or cause sudden sharp discomfort. Most elbow injuries are caused by sports injuries, falls, vehicle accidents, and overuse of the elbow. Physical therapy is a way to treat injuries to the elbow in a way that helps promote total healing.
