Tennis Elbow Isn’t Just an Athlete Problem
Tennis elbow commonly affects people who lift, grip, or use their hands at work. It is usually a degenerative tendon condition, not an inflammatory one.

That’s why repeated steroid injections often don’t work long‑term.

At HealthWorks, treatment focuses on tendon health—not just pain suppression.

Steroid Injections: What They Do (and Don’t Do)
Steroid injections can be very effective at calming inflammation and pain—but they don’t repair damaged tissue.
When used strategically, they can:
- Reduce pain
- Improve function
- Help rehab move forward
The key is using them at the right time and for the right reason.
At HealthWorks Sports Medicine, injections are used strategically, not automatically, and often paired with rehab and movement optimization.

Let’s discuss whether a steroid injection fits your overall treatment plan.

❄️ Winter is clocking in this weekend — snow, ice, and that annual moment when adults across Western Kentucky forget their age and decide they’re absolutely still built for sledding.
If you’re heading out, we hope you enjoy every frosty minute and stay upright, warm, and injury‑free. But if gravity wins (it usually does), HealthWorks Family & Sports Medicine is here to help you bounce back — even if your pride takes longer to heal than your tailbone.
Stay safe, have fun, and remember: just because you can still fit on a sled doesn’t always mean you should.
