Tennis Elbow: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment | Dr. Md Naimul Alam

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, occurs due to overuse of the wrist and forearm muscles, causing small tears and inflammation in the lateral epicondyle. Dr. Md Naimul Alam, Attending Orthopedic Surgeon at Evercare Hospital Chattogram, explains how this condition affects not only tennis players but anyone who overuses their dominant hand, including homemakers and laborers.

Initial treatment usually includes pain medication, but in many cases, physiotherapy, targeted exercises, and intra-articular steroid injections are necessary. Severe or persistent cases may require surgical intervention.
