The so-called tennis elbow or golfer\u2019s elbow (epicondylitis) is caused by tensile forces<\/strong> of the hand extension and flexor muscles and their tendons. These negative tensile forces permanently affect the tendon insertions at the elbow and cause injuries<\/strong> there in the form of microtears.<\/p>\n More detailed information and sources can be found further down this page.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.masalo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/illustration_cause_of_epicondylitis_tennis-elbow.jpg” title_text=”illustration_cause_of_epicondylitis_tennis-elbow” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”20px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.masalo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/counter-traction_principle_against_tennis-elbow.jpg” title_text=”counter-traction_principle_against_tennis-elbow” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n So if tensile forces are the cause of tennis elbow and golfer\u2019s elbow, they should simply be counteracted and rendered harmless.

In medical terminology, the injury is also referred to as epicondylopathy, epicodylosis or epicondyalgia. (Source: Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\nSpread and disease duration<\/h2>\n
\nTherefore, we would like to give only a small overview of the extensive information collected by us on the current state of knowledge, whereby we will limit ourselves only in extracts to a few sources.<\/p>\n
\nTennis elbow or golfer’s elbow is the most widespread disease\/injury<\/strong> in industrialized nations after back problems.<\/p>\n\n
In general, the average duration of illness is assumed to be 6 to 48 months<\/strong>. From a duration of 6 months onwards, the epicondylitis is already classified as chronic.<\/p>\n
According to figures from the CSST, Quebec (2009), the average incapacity to work is 83.7 days<\/strong> and the risk of recurrence is 10.6% for certain occupational groups.<\/p>\nTennis elbow? Golfer’s elbow?
What is that exactly?<\/h2>\n
Unaccustomed high loads, strenuous or repeated movements of the arm can thus lead to injuries in the form of microtears<\/strong> on these tendons, which can then become inflamed. (Source: Netdoktor<\/a>),<\/strong> (Source: Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\nMain cause of the epicondylitis<\/h2>\n
Knitting, gardening or shoveling snow and the like, can also trigger this treacherous disease.<\/p>\n

Logical therapeutic approach against epicondylitis<\/h2>\n
\nPlace the arm on a table and move the fingers, you will see the movement at the outer epicondyle.<\/em>
\nOr simply close your hand into a fist a few times and open it again.
