Many of us do repetitive movements that overuse and inflames the elbow's soft tissues.  Misalignments of joints, biomechanical alteration of the joint motion or subluxation, often irritate the tendons, and create abnormal motion of the joint too. 

​

When the pain is on the inside of the elbow joint, that's called Medial Epicondylitis, common among golfers.  When the pain is on the outside of the elbow joint, that's called Lateral Epicondylitis, common among tennis players.

​

​The symptoms of tennis elbow develop gradually. In most cases, the pain begins as mild and slowly worsens over weeks and months. There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms. Common signs and symptoms of tennis elbow include: Pain or burning on the outer part of your elbow Weak grip strength The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity, such as holding a racquet, turning a wrench, or shaking hands. Your dominant arm is most often affected; however both arms can be affected.
