Why Kent Recommends a Personalized Tennis Elbow Brace for Recovery
One of our elderly patients came in with a complaint.
“I first felt it lifting my teapot , just a small pinch. But when the pain spread to simple things like knitting and buttoning my blouse, I knew something was wrong with my hand.”
It often begins with the smallest of signals. For example, a slight ache when lifting a teapot or a faint twinge during a familiar task. Initially, it’s easy to dismiss as strain or age. But as the discomfort grows, affecting everyday movements like knitting, typing, or even buttoning a shirt, it becomes clear that something more is going on.
For many, this slow, nagging pain turns out to be tennis elbow. A common yet often misunderstood condition that can quietly disrupt daily life.
Understanding What Is Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, isn’t just for athletes. Despite the name, it affects anyone who uses their hands for repetitive tasks like office workers, carpenters, gardeners, musicians, parents, and yes, racquet sport players too.
It’s caused by overuse of the muscles and tendons in the forearm. Consequently, this leads to tiny tears in the tissue, especially around the elbow joint. The result? Pain, tenderness, and weakness, particularly when gripping or lifting.
Many patients don’t realize what’s happening until the discomfort becomes persistent. But the good news? With the right care and a supportive tennis elbow brace, healing is not only possible, it can be fast-tracked.
Getting started with early assessment is very important to act on the right time and heal your arm to make your life better and easier. Having experts to guide and high-quality tools to support, one can easily overcome this pain over a course of time with consistent treatment.
