OVERVIEW

ABOUT TENNIS ELBOW TREATMENT

Tennis elbow is badly named. You don't need a racket to get it, and most people who have it have never played. What you do need is a lot of repeated gripping and wrist motion, which describes plenty of jobs and hobbies. Cooking, building, styling hair, working a keyboard, wrenching on a car.

The pain sets up shop on the outside of the elbow. Shake a hand, lift a mug, turn a screwdriver, and it bites. Some people notice the grip going weak, like the arm won't fully commit to holding on.

Underneath, it's the tendons that anchor your forearm muscles to the outer elbow. Overloaded and irritated, they stop tolerating the load they used to handle without a thought. It's stubborn, and pushing through it tends to keep it going, but the right care gets you ahead of it. At Modern Medicine of Chandler, AZ, we calm the tendon down and fix what overloaded it.

We find the tender spot, test your grip and wrist, and ask about the tasks that set it off. Imaging is rarely needed for this one.

Office was very welcoming from the moment you walked into the office, Marissa and Kelsey were there to greet me. They know all of their patients and treat them like family. Dr. Dault was AMAZING. SHE listened and really searched to find the answers to my pain. Eric was very thorough when doing my ultrasound to diagnose my issue. Their recommendations helped me and in the end my pain decreased! Thank you to the entire team!

I was in a pretty dark place before starting at the Chandler location. My low back pain was completely debilitating and affecting the quality of my life for many years. I saw Phil once a week for 6 weeks and feel stronger and more confident than I have in many, many years. Phil explained the results of my MRI in great detail and answered my questions (as trivial as they might have been) with respect and understanding... I have been to many physical therapists before and the results I got here were the best. I highly recommend the Chandler location and will go back again if I ever need to!

What Are You Experiencing?

You might not know what treatment you need, as most people don’t. What you do know is that something hurts. That’s enough for us to start. Fill out this quick form and just tell us how it feels. We’ll look it over and reach out to talk through what could be going on and what might help.

LOW HIGH

SEVERE PAIN

If your pain feels like too much to handle, please don’t wait around. Call 911 or get to the nearest hospital. Once the emergency part is taken care of, we’ll be here to help you with longer-term support.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

Maybe it’s not stopping you from getting through the day, but it’s always there feeling sharp, dull, or just plain annoying. Let us know what it feels like. We’ll work with you to figure out why it’s happening and how to make things easier.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

A little soreness or stiffness might not sound like much, but it can still mess with your day. Those small aches are often your body’s way of saying something needs attention. Tell us what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help keep it from turning into something worse.

Answering Your Questions

Why does my elbow hurt when the problem is how I use my hand?

Because the forearm muscles that grip and move your wrist anchor at the outside of the elbow. Overwork them and the strain lands where they attach. That's why we look at your grip and wrist habits, not just the sore elbow itself.

Can I keep working while it heals?

Usually, with adjustments. Total rest quiets it but leaves the tendon weak, so it flares when you return. We help you modify the aggravating tasks while gradually loading the tendon, so it's getting stronger instead of just resting.

Do injections cure tennis elbow?

They can calm a bad flare, but they're not usually a standalone fix. The lasting results come from rebuilding the tendon with progressive loading. An injection may take the edge off so you can do that work, but it's one piece, not the whole answer.

How long until it feels better?

It varies, but plan on weeks, sometimes a couple of months for stubborn cases. Tendons heal slowly. The steady, progressive loading is what genuinely turns it around, even if it's not fast.

Will it come back after it heals?

It can, if the habits behind it don't change. That's why we look at your grip, wrist positions, and the tasks that set it off, then build strength so the tendon holds up to your daily demands going forward.

MODERN MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic." - Josh Adams

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What separates MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE from just about every other company is our physical therapists and orthopedists utlize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. Everyone else is operating blindly.
