Tennis Elbow Treatment in Ayurveda

What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow is a common problem where the tendon in the elbow tears due to too much strain, leading to pain and a weakened grip. It's not just for tennis players – people who use heavy tools or anyone who uses their forearm a lot, especially if they use it the wrong way can get affected. People older than 40 are more likely to experience this condition. If it's not treated right, it can cause chronic or ongoing pain and make it hard to grip things.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Tennis Elbow

1. Avoidance of Etiological Factors
• Our treatment begins with a thorough understanding of the patient's lifestyle. Activities involving the overuse of the elbow joint are identified, and patients are advised to avoid such activities to prevent further aggravation.
2. Snehana
• Medicated oils are skillfully applied to the affected area through gentle massage. This process helps to reduce inflammation and promote the healing of ligaments and tendons.
3. Upanaha
• Pichu or bandaging the area with medicated oils is recommended in the early stages. This aids in providing localized relief and supports the healing process.
4. Bandhana
• The application of bandages with the infused properties of Ayurvedic herbs helps in stabilizing the affected area and facilitates recovery.
5. Dahakarma
• In certain cases, Ayurvedic therapies such as Podikkizhi (massage with herbal powder), Ilakkizhi (massage with herbal leaves), and Tailadhara (pouring of medicated oils) may be employed to alleviate inflammation and promote healing.
