Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the soft tissue and tendons of the elbow and forearm. We have a number of approaches to help reduce inflammation, restore correct function of the elbow and therefore reduce pain.

Tennis Elbow and Golfers Elbow (laterial epicondylitis and medial epicondylitis)

Tennis Elbow and Golfers elbow are both conditions in which the muscles of the forearm become inflamed at the point where they attach to the bony parts of the elbow. This can be a very painful condition.

The conditions are medically known as lateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow) which presents with pain on the outside of the elbow, and medial epicondylitis (Golfers elbow) which generally hurts on the inside of the elbow.

Whilst the common names for these conditions suggest that they are caused by sporting activity, this is often not the case. Agitation of the muscles, nerves and tendons can be caused by many physical activities.

We use a wide range of techniques that help restore the the mechanics of the forearm and elbow. Using the correct combination of these methods helps to quickly restore the integrity of the tissues and removes adhesions and tightness that contribute to the pain.

Our chiropractors and acupuncturist all have effective methods for the reduction of pain caused by tendinitis’ of all kinds.

Excellent customer service. I always get a warm welcome and the reception staff are very friendly. All staff are kind, non-judgemental, listen well and adapt to your needs. Massages by Cerys are always fantastic and she will tailor it to your needs. She is intuitive as well as a good listener and will change style and pressure to suit, depending on if you want a purely relaxing massage or a deeper, more therapeutic one. I always leave the building feeling like I'm floating, even after deeper pressure work. Paul Hindle is a very good chiropractor and also offers a more targeted trigger-point style release massage for sports injuries, although you do not have to be any kind of sportsperson to benefit from these treatments. I certainly am not. I personally didn't get on with acupuncture, due to my nervous system and issues I have but Darren was very kind and understanding and relieved some of my symptoms using alternative methods, once we realised I could not work with the needles. He was patient and tried various techniques to help me. The online appointment service is good and you can create a profile to see what upcoming appointments you have as well as past appointments. Email reminders are good as well as calendar appointments created for you.
