Treatment

Many cases of tennis elbow will resolve themselves over time. However, the persistent pain that a sufferer experiences may bring them to seek treatment.

  • A doctor may also suggest that you treat the problem at the source: meaning practicing a new form or with new equipment, if your injury is sports related.

  • In rarer, more serious, cases tennis elbow may result in corrective surgery that removes diseased muscle.
