Treatment & Care:

Many cases of tennis elbow can be easily managed at home conservatively. Some of the most common cures are applying an analgesic ointment; applying ice packs for 10 to 15 minutes several times throughout the day; relaxing the tendons and avoiding any activities that seems to cause the swelling and pain. Medical treatment involving ingestion of relevant drugs should be undertaken only on doctor’s advice.

For long-term relief, one should also perform a few hand and wrist exercises that involve stretching. This results in stronger tendons and muscles and increases stress tolerance
