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

肘部疼痛
肘部疼痛
尽管肘部是非承重关节，但它与身体其他部位一样容易受伤。
肘部受伤的主要原因是频繁使用关节造成的拉伤。大多数日常活动和任务都需要重复的手和手臂运动。除了过度使用外，突然摔倒等抵抗阻力的动作也可能导致肘部受伤。
两种常见的肘部疼痛类型被称为高尔夫球手肘和网球肘。
高尔夫球手肘
高尔夫球手肘是指肘内侧疼痛的一种病症。这是由连接肘部和前臂肌肉的肌腱之一肿胀和发炎引起的。
高尔夫球手肘通常是由于过度使用前臂常见的屈肌造成的。这也是这种情况得名的原因，因为前臂的常见屈肌是打高尔夫球时经常使用的肌肉。除了打高尔夫球，这种情况也常常是上肢健身房锻炼、长时间工作或跌倒造成的创伤性损伤的结果。
高尔夫球手肘的一些症状包括：
握拳或扭腕时肘部内侧出现疼痛。
手掌朝上举起重物时疼痛加剧
手腕或手部力量减弱
肘部僵硬
网球肘
另一方面，网球肘是指肘外侧的前臂肌肉紧张时所经历的疼痛。网球肘疼痛通常发生在前臂肌肉的肌腱、前臂和手腕上。
当过度使用前臂肌肉时会出现这种情况，并且任何经常使用这些肌肉的人都会经历这种情况。那些从事需要定期重复手臂运动的职业的人，例如厨师、木匠和水管工，更容易患上这种疾病。此外，网球肘是 30 至 50 岁人群中常见的一种疾病。在没有适当击球技术的情况下练习壁球、羽毛球和网球等球拍运动也会增加患网球肘的风险。
网球肘的常见症状包括：
疼痛从手臂蔓延到手腕
前臂外侧疼痛或压痛
手臂完全伸展时疼痛
由于握力较弱而难以抓握物体
