Elbow Pain Treatment In Singapore
Though the elbow is a non-weight bearing joint, it is just as susceptible to injury as other parts of the body.
Injuries in the elbow are primarily causes by strains from the frequent use of the joint. Most every day activities and tasks will require repetitive hand and arm movements. Apart from over usage, abrupt movements against resistance such as breaking a fall may also cause injury to the elbow.
The two common types of elbow pain are known as Golfer’s elbow and Tennis elbow.
Tennis Elbow Treatment
On the other hand, Tennis elbow refers to pain experienced when the forearm muscles on the outer side of the elbows are strained. Tennis elbow pain is usually felt in the tendons of the forearm muscles, in the forearm and the wrist.
This condition occurs when there is an over usage of the forearm muscles and can be experienced by anyone who uses these muscles on a regular basis. Those who work in occupations that require regular repetitive movements of the arms such as chefs, carpenters and plumbers are more susceptible to developing this condition. Additionally, Tennis elbow is a condition common in those aged between 30 and 50 years old. Practising racquet sports such as squash, badminton and tennis without proper stroke techniques will also increase the risk of contracting Tennis elbow.
Common symptoms of Tennis elbow include:
-
Pain spreading down the arm to the wrists
-
Pain or tenderness on the outer forearm
-
Pain when extending the arm fully
-
Difficultly grasping objects due to a weak grip
