What’s the best way to treat tennis elbow? 🤔

Tennis elbow happens when the wrist extensor muscles on the outside of your elbow are overworked. Despite its name, you don’t have to be a tennis player to get it—any repetitive wrist or elbow movement can cause this condition, also known as lateral epicondylopathy.

Effective treatment includes:

✔️ Adjustments to the neck, mid-back, and elbow
✔️ Trigger point therapy for the wrist extensors
✔️ Strengthening exercises for the wrist muscles

Should you ice or heat an injury?🧊🔥

There’s a lot of debate on this topic, and you might wonder which is the right choice!

According to science, ice can be helpful in the first 6 hours to reduce pain, but using it beyond that could actually slow down the healing process. So, when should you switch to heat or avoid both altogether?

It’s always best to ask a healthcare professional for personalized advice. If you're unsure, give us a call—we're here to help guide you through your recovery! 🙌
