Tennis Elbow
You Don’t Have to Play Tennis to Get It!
The muscles you use to bend your wrist backward are delicate, so it’s easy to strain them from a number of activities. If you strain them enough – through playing golf, hammering a nail, or any other wrist-intensive activity – these muscles and tendons will swell painfully along your whole forearm, with the pain concentrated around your elbow, creating what we commonly call -Y΄tennis elbow.‘
Join orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Terrill, as he explores ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat tennis elbow.
This is a free program. To register, please call 877-554-3258.
Light refreshments will be served.
