ELBOW EPICONDYLITIS/EPICONDYLOSIS (TENNIS ELBOW/GOLFER'S ELBOW)
A common injury that many active people have is called tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. You can have it even if you never used a tennis racquet or a golf club. This condition can be caused by activities that use the forearm and put stress those muscles.
Elbow Epicondylitis/Epicondylosis describes acute and chronic inflammation of the muscles of the forearm that attach at the elbow that become inflamed. The inflammation occurs both at the periosteum (connective tissue covering of the bone) as well as the muscles and tendons that insert on the bone. Many times, the biomechanical problem is in the shoulder and/or wrist. Conservative management in most cases will decrease the pain, improve function and prevent reoccurrences.
