Tennis Elbow Injection

Tennis Elbow Injection

What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) is a common condition that causes pain on the outer side of the elbow. It occurs due to overuse or strain of the forearm muscles and tendons, often from repetitive movements like lifting, gripping, or playing sports such as tennis and badminton. Despite its name, this condition can affect anyone—not just athletes.

Typical symptoms include:

  • Pain and tenderness on the outer elbow

  • Weak grip strength

  • Discomfort while lifting objects, shaking hands, or twisting the forearm

What is a Tennis Elbow Injection?

A Tennis Elbow Injection is a targeted treatment that helps reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area. It involves injecting medication (such as corticosteroids, platelet-rich plasma [PRP], or other regenerative therapies) directly around the damaged tendon.

At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our specialists use ultrasound-guided techniques for precise injection placement, ensuring maximum effectiveness and faster relief.

Who Needs Tennis Elbow Injections?

Injections are usually recommended for patients who:

  • Have persistent elbow pain that does not improve with rest, physiotherapy, or medications

  • Experience difficulty performing daily activities due to elbow pain

  • Require faster pain relief to return to sports or work

  • Suffer from recurrent or chronic tennis elbow symptoms

Types of Injections Offered

Depending on your condition, our orthopedic specialists may suggest:

  1. Corticosteroid Injections – To reduce inflammation and provide short-term pain relief.

  2. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections – Uses your own blood’s healing factors to promote tendon repair.

  3. Local Anesthetic Injections – For immediate, temporary pain relief during the early stages.

Benefits of Tennis Elbow Injections

  • Targeted and effective pain relief

  • Reduction in inflammation and swelling

  • Improved mobility and grip strength

  • Faster return to work, sports, and daily activities

  • May help delay or avoid surgery in chronic cases

Post-Injection Care & Recovery

  • Patients are advised to rest the elbow for a few days after the injection.

  • Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises are introduced gradually.

  • Most patients notice significant improvement within 1–3 weeks.

  • A structured rehabilitation plan is provided to prevent recurrence.

Risks and Considerations

While generally safe, injections may have some minor risks such as:

  • Temporary soreness or swelling at the injection site

  • Skin thinning or lightening (with corticosteroid injections)

  • Rare infection or nerve irritation
