Tennis enthusiasts know all too well the sharp, lingering pain that comes with tennis elbow. This condition, not limited to just tennis players, can put a damper on anyone’s game or daily routine.
But with the right approach, primarily through upper cervical chiropractic care, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Dive in with Dr. Lisa Olszewski of Precision Spinal Care and prepare to score against tennis elbow.
Understanding Tennis Elbow: It’s Not Just About Tennis
Though popularly associated with the sport, tennis elbow affects many outside the court. Characterized by pain around the elbow’s outside, this overuse injury results from repetitive motions.
The Chiropractic Perspective: Why Upper Cervical Care?
The cervical spine plays a crucial role in overall health and functionality:
- Neural Pathways: It encloses the spinal cord, ensuring neural messages travel unhindered.
