Tennis Elbow and Shoulder Problems
About the disease & condition
Tennis elbow and shoulder problems are overuse injuries affecting tendons in the elbow or shoulder, including rotator cuff tendinitis. They result from repetitive motions, poor technique, or improper posture, commonly seen in sports, lifting, or computer work. Symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited arm movement. Diagnosis involves physical examination and imaging. Management focuses on proper technique, ergonomic adjustments, strengthening exercises, and physiotherapy to relieve pain, prevent chronic tendon damage, and restore function for daily and sports activities.
