How to Get Rid of Tennis Elbow
Treating tennis elbow requires a combination of rest and rehabilitation. First things first, your doctor will likely ask you to stop the activity that caused the pain and apply ice to reduce swelling. Once the sharp pain is gone, you may be able to do some gentle stretching and strengthening exercises. Physical therapy can teach you how to properly condition your forearm muscles to handle stress without re-injuring the tendon. In some cases, wearing a specialized brace or strap around your upper forearm can take pressure off the injured area while it heals.
How to Relieve Arm Pain
At the first sign of arm pain, you can try the RICE method—rest your arm, apply ice, compress the area with a bandage, and elevate your arm. Once the initial pain subsides, you can try these remedies to reduce your pain:
- Do some gentle stretching
- Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication
- Adjust your desk setup at work to reduce strain on your joints
- See a doctor to discuss treatment for pain that doesn’t go away on its own
How to Fix Golfer’s Elbow
Treatment for golfer’s elbow is comparable to tennis elbow. Rest is usually key, and anti-inflammatory medications provide temporary relief. However, physical therapy is typically your best bet for making a full recovery. A professional therapist can guide you through specific exercises designed to repair the tendon.
