Elbow Pain Treatment In Singapore
Though the elbow is a non-weight bearing joint, it is just as susceptible to injury as other parts of the body.
Injuries in the elbow are primarily causes by strains from the frequent use of the joint. Most every day activities and tasks will require repetitive hand and arm movements. Apart from over usage, abrupt movements against resistance such as breaking a fall may also cause injury to the elbow.
The two common types of elbow pain are known as Golfer’s elbow and Tennis elbow.
Tennis Elbow Treatment
On the other hand, Tennis elbow refers to pain experienced when the forearm muscles on the outer side of the elbows are strained. Tennis elbow pain is usually felt in the tendons of the forearm muscles, in the forearm and the wrist.
This condition occurs when there is an over usage of the forearm muscles and can be experienced by anyone who uses these muscles on a regular basis. Those who work in occupations that require regular repetitive movements of the arms such as chefs, carpenters and plumbers are more susceptible to developing this condition. Additionally, Tennis elbow is a condition common in those aged between 30 and 50 years old. Practising racquet sports such as squash, badminton and tennis without proper stroke techniques will also increase the risk of contracting Tennis elbow.
Common symptoms of Tennis elbow include:
-
Pain spreading down the arm to the wrists
-
Pain or tenderness on the outer forearm
-
Pain when extending the arm fully
-
Difficultly grasping objects due to a weak grip

Sakit siku
Perawatan Sakit Siku Pegolf & Tenis Di Singapura
Meskipun siku adalah sendi yang tidak menahan beban, siku juga sama rentannya terhadap cedera seperti bagian tubuh lainnya.
Cedera pada siku terutama disebabkan oleh ketegangan akibat seringnya pemakaian pada bagian itu. Sebagian besar kegiatan dan tugas setiap hari akan membutuhkan gerakan tangan dan lengan secara berulang. Selain penggunaan secara berlebihan, gerakan tiba-tiba melawan resistensi seperti patah saat jatuh juga dapat menyebabkan cedera pada siku.
Dua jenis nyeri siku yang umum dikenal adalah Siku Golfer dan Siku Tenis.
Siku Golfer
Siku golfer adalah suatu kondisi yang mengacu pada rasa nyeri yang terjadi pada bagian dalam siku. Hal ini disebabkan oleh pembengkakan dan peradangan pada salah satu tendon yang menghubungkan siku dengan otot lengan bawah.
Siku golfer biasanya disebabkan oleh penggunaan otot fleksor umum dalam lengan bawah secara berlebihan. Demikianlah asal pemberian nama terhadap kondisi tersebut, karena otot fleksor umum pada lengan bawah adalah salah satu yang sering digunakan saat bermain golf. Selain golf, kondisi ini juga sering disebabkan oleh latihan gimnastik , jam kerja yang panjang, atau cedera traumatis karena jatuh.
Beberapa gejala siku golfer meliputi:
-
Nyeri yang dialami pada bagian dalam siku saat mengepalkan atau memutar pergelangan tangan.
-
Nyeri bertambah saat mengangkat benda berat dengan telapak tangan menghadap ke atas
-
Berkurangnya kekuatan dalam pergelangan tangan atau tangan
-
Kekakuan pada siku
Siku Tenis
Di sisi lain, siku tenis mengacu pada rasa nyeri yang dialami ketika otot-otot lengan bawah pada sisi luar siku menjadi tegang. Nyeri siku tenis biasanya dirasakan dalam tendon pada otot lengan bawah, pada lengan bawah sendiri, dan pergelangan tangan.
Kondisi ini terjadi ketika ada penggunaan otot lengan bawah yang berlebihan dan dapat dialami oleh siapa saja yang menggunakan otot tersebut secara rutin. Mereka yang pekerjaannya membutuhkan gerakan lengan yang berulang secara teratur seperti koki, tukang kayu dan tukang ledeng lebih rentan untuk membangun kondisi ini. Selain itu, siku tenis adalah kondisi umum bagi mereka yang berusia antara 30 dan 50 tahun. Latihan olahraga dengan raket seperti squash, bulu tangkis, dan tenis tanpa teknik pukulan yang tepat juga akan meningkatkan risiko terkena siku tenis.
Gejala umum Siku Tenis meliputi:
-
Nyeri yang menyebar dari lengan ke pergelangan tangan
-
Nyeri atau nyeri kecil pada lengan bagian luar
-
Nyeri saat merentangkan lengan sepenuhnya
-
Kesulitan menggenggam benda karena genggaman yang lemah.
