This condition is very similar to golfers elbow but affects the outside of the elbow joint. It is also known as lateral epicondylitis as it refers to inflammation of some of the forearm tendons where they insert into the bony Epicondyle of the elbow joint. A range of treatments such as massage, manipulation and acupuncture can help restore the normal function of the tendons. Occasionally tennis elbow type pain can be caused by neck problems and this area should also be routinely examined.
