Fixing Tennis Elbow Without Shots/Surgery
Healing Tennis Elbow (or Lifter’s Elbow)
Without Shots or Surgery
If you’ve ever felt a sharp, nagging pain on the outside (or inside) of your elbow during your workouts, while lifting a bag, or even just holding your coffee — you might be dealing with Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or Lifter’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis).
These conditions are caused by repetitive strain to the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to your elbow. The constant stress creates tiny tears in the tissue, which trigger inflammation, pain, and limited mobility. It’s common in lifters, tennis players, desk workers, and moms constantly picking up kids or bags.
🚨 Common Symptoms Include:
A burning or aching pain near the elbow joint
Weak grip strength
Stiffness in the elbow or wrist
Pain that worsens with lifting, gripping, or twisting
⚠️ The Truth About Cortisone Shots: Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Damage
Cortisone injections are often recommended to reduce inflammation and pain — but here’s what most people don’t get told:
🩹 Yes, it reduces pain… temporarily.
💣 But over time, cortisone can weaken the very tendons and ligaments you're trying to heal.
Cortisone disrupts the body’s natural repair process. Repeated injections may actually accelerate tendon degeneration, increase your risk of tearing, and delay true healing. It’s like turning off a fire alarm while the fire is still burning.
✅ The Better, Proven Approach:
Working with an experienced, athlete-focused chiropractor can often solve this issue without any invasive procedures. Here’s how:
Targeted manual therapy to reduce muscle tightness and improve tissue healing.
Progressive rehab exercises that strengthen and stabilize the forearm, shoulder, and grip.
Home-based stretches and mobility drills that relieve tension and rebuild resilience.
Postural and movement assessments to correct the habits that caused the injury in the first place.
💪 Healing Is Possible — Without Needles or Surgery
With the right treatment and consistency, tennis elbow and lifter’s elbow can fully heal. Don't let a preventable condition sideline your workouts or your daily life.
