Epicondylitis: inflammation of the elbow tendons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L'epicondylitis<\/mark><\/strong> or external elbow tendonitis<\/mark><\/strong> is an acute or chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by inflammation of the epicondylar tendons on the outside of the elbow. Occasionally, the medial part of the elbow may be affected, i.e. the epicondyle muscles, in which case we speak ofelbow epitrochleitis<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the origin of elbow pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This form of tendonitis is generally the result of excessive strain on elbow tendons or excessive repetition of the same movement<\/mark><\/strong> involving the arm and wrist muscles. So common in tennis that it's commonly referred to as \"tennis elbow\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overuse of the elbow can lead to fiber damage or tendon trauma. All this can occur during physical or sporting activity. Stiffness and weakness of the arm and\/or forearm muscles can also lead to epicondylitis. Epicondylitis can also be triggered by carrying heavy loads<\/mark><\/strong> or certain professional activities<\/mark> <\/mark><\/strong>(cashier) or daily gestures involving repetitive movements<\/mark> <\/strong>(beat the egg whites until stiff).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does elbow tendonitis manifest itself?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are symptoms<\/mark><\/strong> that can help you recognize, or at least suspect, elbow tendonitis. One of the characteristic signs of the injury is inflammation or pain in the outer joint of your elbow<\/mark>, <\/strong>which can radiate either to the forearm and fingers, or to the shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain is exquisite when you have your arm outstretched or try to rotate your forearm. It may be accompanied by a swelling, redness or warmth in the elbow area<\/mark><\/strong>. In all cases, tendonitis makes it difficult to use your hand, wrist or arm, and hampers your manual activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical diagnosis to confirm epicondylitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don't underestimate the pain. The appearance of any of the symptoms listed below should alert you to the need to consult a therapist quickly<\/mark><\/strong> (doctor, physiotherapist, osteopath) for a clinical diagnosis, which alone will confirm whether you really are suffering from elbow tendonitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctor may order a series of examinations, including X-rays or ultrasound, in order to determine the inflammatory aspect of tendons<\/mark><\/strong> and detect any intra-tendinous fissures or calcifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How can you prevent elbow tendonitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Epicondylitis is a condition whose onset or recurrence can be prevented in athletes, workers and sedentary people. To prevent or avoid elbow inflammation, athletes are generally advised to practice a good warm-up before training, keep well hydrated<\/mark><\/strong> and the wearing suitable and adapted equipment<\/mark><\/strong> to their morphology. A warm-up and the use of ergonomic equipment are essential. valid for professionals<\/mark><\/strong> whose work involves repetitive tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can finally manage your elbow discomfort and promote remission of your epicondylitis by using the STIMCARE patches<\/mark><\/strong>.

They use patented eNOsyntex<\/a><\/strong> which, thanks to its oxidation-reflection properties, reflects infrared rays to stimulate microcirculation. Thanks to improved tissue perfusion, toxins are more effectively cleansed, and oxygenation and nutrient supply are enhanced. Simply apply a patch directly to the upper attachment of the epicondylar muscles, but also to the epitrocheal muscles, to normalize tension in the extensor and flexor muscles of the wrist and fingers.
