San Mateo tennis elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, is the most common illness that afflicts the upper body.
But tennis elbow is not unique to tennis players only. When immense strain is placed on the muscles of the forearm (wrist extensor group), it can cause tennis elbow. Hence, this ailment is often seen in tennis players, carpenters, secretaries, manual laborers and a host of other jobs. So basically any activity that involves repetitive wrist extension will cause tennis elbow, says Dean Harman DC. In 9 out of 10 cases of tennis elbow, there is localized pain in the tendo periosteal junction where the common extensor tendon has its roots (outer aspect of the elbow). Some patients with tennis elbow say they have radiating pain to the posterior portion of the forearm and wrist area.
CA tennis elbow takes a long time to recuperate because of the absence of a tendon sheath and this can be difficult for the patient. The common extensor origin resembles a muscle more than a tendon, but its blood supply is not adequate and thus, it cannot get nutrition from the fluid that is found within a tendon sheath.
