Tennis Elbow Treatment In Sacramento
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral elbow pain, causes discomfort along the outside of the elbow and forearm. Despite the name, you do not have to play tennis to develop it. Repetitive gripping, lifting, typing, or manual work can all contribute.
While the pain is felt at the elbow, it is often influenced by tightness and soft tissue restrictions in the forearm and surrounding muscles.
At MC Sports Therapy, treatment focuses on addressing these underlying restrictions to improve mobility and reduce strain.

What Causes Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow develops when repetitive stress irritates the tendons that attach to the outside of the elbow.
Common contributing factors include:
Repetitive gripping or lifting
Overuse from sports
Manual labor
Prolonged computer or mouse use
Tight forearm muscles
Restricted fascia in the forearm
Over time, built-up tension in the forearm can increase stress at the elbow attachment point, leading to persistent discomfort.
How Soft Tissue Treatment Helps
Tennis elbow is often influenced by tightness in the forearm muscles and connective tissue. When these tissues lose flexibility, they increase strain at the elbow.
Treatment may include:
Movement and grip assessment
Targeted hands-on soft tissue work for the forearm
Improving tissue mobility along the elbow joint
Addressing repetitive strain patterns
By reducing tension and restoring mobility, treatment helps decrease stress on irritated structures.
