Of all repetitive stress injuries, tennis elbow is one of
the most reported cases of repetitive stress injuries and can be one of the
most stubborn to overcome and recover from. There is usually a lot of confusion
about it and how to best treat it. It is not uncommon for sufferers to simply
ignore the pain or pass it off as just a part of getting old...until it becomes
a chronic problem.
Here's a little fact for you...Did you know that it usually
affects people who are in the age group of 35-65 years?
Below are 5 common myths about tennis elbow:
1) Tennis players are the only people who get tennis elbow.
Actually, over 95% of all reported cases are from non-tennis players.
2) You have to completely stop doing your favorite hobby,
career, an activity that caused your elbow pain in order for it to fully heal,
repair and recover. Simply put - No! You can still carry on with your everyday
normal activities if you do suffer with it but you should be taking proactive
measures like implementing a proven tennis elbow treatment program in order to
cure it.
3) A doctor is the only person who can help cure your elbow
pain and discomfort. You should always seek professional medical advice to make
sure you are suffering from tennis elbow. Once you have been diagnosed, you
don't have to go back to the doctor again and again to seek his advice on
treatment. Most likely he will refer you to a physiotherapist but, all you need
is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step program to get relief.
4) Elbow braces are effective in treating and curing it.
Wrong! It is my belief that braces that provide joint support actually end up
making the muscles and tendons around that joint weaker. You want to make them
stronger and not weaker!
5) Tendonitis pills, anti-inflammatories, and topical creams
are effective in getting rid of tennis elbow. Nothing could be further from the
truth! These band-aid solutions only provide temporary relief and actually mask
your elbow pain! Once these dangerous pills wear off, in most
cases, your elbow pain will be worse.
The most important thing to remember is that it's curable
and when diagnosed on time, the time taken to recover is less.
If you are serious about curing your tennis elbow and want
to learn a step-by-step, instructional approach (with Videos) from the comfort
of your own home...
