Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition that affects the outer side of the elbow due to overuse of forearm muscles and tendons. Despite its name, it is not limited to tennis players. Anyone who repeatedly uses their wrist and arm – such as office workers, plumbers, painters, or athletes – can develop tennis elbow.
At SN Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Johar Town Lahore, Dr. Muhammad Saleem Nawaz provides specialized physiotherapy for tennis elbow, helping patients recover mobility and live pain-free.
