What is a tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow is an inflammation or irritation of the tendons on the outside of your elbow. It is caused by overuse of these tendons. This often occurs as a result of repetitive movements of the forearm. This condition therefore does not only occur during tennis, but also during activities such as lifting, typing or other sports.
Symptoms of a tennis elbow
Tennis elbow often causes loss of strength and irritation on the outside of the elbow. This occurs mainly when lifting or grasping something or when stretching the arm. These actions can also be painful and the area may even feel stiff.
How can red light therapy help with a tennis elbow?
Red light therapy can accelerate the recovery process of the tendons around the elbow. This is possible because the red light penetrates deep into the tissues. This stimulates cell activity, reducing inflammation and improving blood flow. This helps to reduce pain, relax the muscles and stimulate the natural healing process.
Is the use of red light therapy for a tennis elbow scientifically proven?
Yes, there are several studies that indicate the effect of red light therapy on tennis elbow. In one of these studies, low-level laser therapy (red light) was used on patients with this condition. This significantly reduced pain and demonstrated other positive results. Here you can read more information about this study.
