Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a musculoskeletal condition with pain around the outer part of the elbow. Tennis elbow is mainly caused due to repetitive overuse of muscles and tendons of the forearm near the elbow joint. Contrary to its name, it is not limited to just tennis players and can occur in anyone who puts repetitive stress on the elbow joint, for example carpenters, violin players and painters. Pain and weakness due to tennis elbow can hamper daily activities such as shaking hands, holding a cup turning a door knob.
Homeopathic Treatment
Homeopathic medicines for tennis elbow offer very effective treatment and help manage pain and stiffness. Natural and safe, homeopathic medicines act deep and have no side effects. Unlike the conventional mode of medicine, homeopathic medicines do not supress the disease and its symptoms. In fact, they attack the disorder at the root and set off the body’s own restorative processes, making it strong enough to completely eradicate the disease. Suppressing the disease does not really help, so homeopathic medicines are a natural, healing alternative. These medicines give long-term relief in tennis elbow cases by reducing inflammation of tendons and helping in healing damage/ injury of tendons.
Homeopathic Medicines For Tennis Elbow
Among the homeopathic medicines for tennis elbow the top-grade ones are Rhus Tox, Ruta, Bryonia, Bellis Perennis and Calcarea Carb.
Elbow joint
1. Rhus Tox – Top Grade Medicine
Rhus Tox is the most frequently prescribed medicine for managing cases of tennis elbow.

Symptoms Of Tennis Elbow
1. Pain: The main symptom of tennis elbow is pain on outer side of elbow where tendons (tissue band connecting muscle to bone) of muscles of forearm connects to bony bump of elbow. In some cases pain may extend down to forearm and wrist. The pain may get worse from bending arm, twisting forearm, turning door knob, writing, lifting things, griping objects. Sometimes the sufferer may experience burning in the outer side of elbow.
2. Stiffnessin elbow while extending the arm
3. Swelling of elbow and tenderness (pain on touching) of elbow
4. Weak grip on holding objects
Causes Behind Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow arises from overuse of muscles of forearm. This happens from repetitive use of forearm muscles in some activities that put stress on tendons that unite forearm muscles to bony projection of elbow. As a result, tendons get inflamed, damaged and in some cases tear as well. Tennis elbow is common in tennis players. However, it is often seen in people performing other activities involving repetitive use of wrist and arm muscles like painters, plumbers, bowlers, gardeners, carpenters, swimmers. In some cases, a direct injury to elbow may result in this condition. Though tennis elbow may affect people of any age group but people between age of 30 yrs to 50 yrs are commonly affected. In some cases, tennis elbow occurs without any reason which is called idiopathic tennis elbow.
