England – 09/10/2011– The thousands of people who suffer from tennis elbow every year welcome the introduction of Tenease
Every year around the world hundreds of thousands of people fall foul of one of the most common repetitive strain injuries there is, in the form of Lateral epicondylitis, which is more commonly known as tennis elbow. The condition is notoriously difficult to treat and can take a long time to heal, which is why the medical profession and sufferers are pleased to see a new treatment for tennis elbow become available called Tenease.
How this new treatment for tennis elbow works
The pain of tennis elbow is caused when the tendons connected to the long bones of the arm become inflamed due to over use or to overexertion. With tennis elbow the pain is on the top edge of the elbow. Golfers suffer from a similar condition, which is, of course, called golfers elbow. The causes are the same, but the pain is on the inside of the elbow.
Any racquet player can suffer from tennis elbow and more and more people are getting it from other activities, such as hammering in nails all day, typing or using a computer mouse for hours on end. In fact, only 5% of tennis elbow cases are now caused by playing tennis.
In the past the only treatment for tennis elbow was to avoid the activity that caused it, reduce inflammation using ice and heat or anti inflammatory drugs and to take pain killers as needed. Given enough time most people’s injury healed, however in extreme cases surgery was necessary. Acupuncture is another treatment for tennis elbow, but for obvious reasons is not popular and its success rate varies considerably.
The most recent form of treatment for tennis elbow is called Tenease and it is a treatment that requires no drugs or invasive procedures. It is simply a small vibration device that you strap onto the affected area 3 times a day. The vibrations increase blood flow to the area, reducing inflammation easing pain and speeding up the healing process. It is available online from suppliers like Prevucare, and is a cheap yet effective treatment for tennis elbow.
