OrthoRehab Physical Therapy provides effective treatment for tennis elbow across 12 Montana clinics. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, affects individuals using their arms and hands frequently, causing pain and tenderness outside the elbow.

Tennis elbow is a prevalent condition caused by the overuse and strain of forearm muscles, resulting in tiny tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. Physical therapy helps patients recover from pain and inflammation, regain strength and arm function. Physical therapists develop customized treatment plans tailored to individual needs, addressing pain, stiffness, and range of motion

During a tennis elbow physical therapy session, the therapist will first assess the patient’s condition by identifying the source of pain or discomfort in the affected area. Using hands-on techniques and diagnostic evaluations, they will pinpoint the specific muscles, tendons, or tissues contributing to the issue.

Tennis elbow treatment may include rest and ice, exercises and rehabilitation, manual therapy, braces or straps, and ergonomic modifications. Progress is closely monitored to ensure the treatment effectively alleviates pain and restores function.
