About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

Tennis elbow is a tendinopathy of the wrist extensor tendons where they attach to the outside of the elbow. Despite the name, only 5% of cases come from tennis — most come from gripping, lifting and computer use.

Modern evidence supports eccentric loading, manual therapy and (for stubborn cases) shockwave. Steroid injections give short-term relief but worse long-term outcomes.

Recovery outlook: 6–12 weeks for most cases; chronic (>6 months) cases may need longer.

Common Causes

Repetitive gripping work
Heavy lifting (gym, manual work)
Backhand tennis stroke
Long mouse/keyboard hours
Sudden increase in DIY
Weak forearm and shoulder muscles

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions Answered

Quick answers to questions our Juhu patients ask most often.

Should I get a cortisone injection?

Evidence shows worse long-term outcomes than physio alone. Save it as a backup option.

Can I keep playing tennis?

With a modified grip and reduced volume — usually yes.
