Tennis Elbow: Elbow Pain That Doesn’t Affect Only Athletes
Although the name may sound like a condition exclusive to tennis players, the truth is even people who have never held a tennis racket can develop it.
Tennis Elbow, medically known as Lateral Epicondylitis, is an inflammatory condition of the tendons on the outer side of the elbow. It is caused by repetitive use of the arm, wrist, or elbow over a prolonged period, such as typing on a computer, using a smartphone, lifting heavy objects, or even doing routine household chores.
Who Is at Risk of Tennis Elbow?
🔹 Office workers – Frequent computer use, repetitive typing, and prolonged mouse use
🔹 People doing heavy housework – Floor scrubbing, wringing clothes, lifting heavy items, or repetitive wrist movements
🔹 Manual workers and hand-intensive professions – Carpenters, construction workers, plumbers, beauticians, massage therapists
🔹 Athletes who repeatedly use their arms – Tennis, badminton, table tennis, golf, weightlifting
🔹 Parents or caregivers – Frequently lifting or carrying children with repetitive arm strain
🔹 Artists and musicians – Drummers, violinists, and others who continuously use their arms and wrists
Warning Signs of Tennis Elbow
🔸 Pain on the outer side of the elbow, especially when gripping, lifting objects, or fully extending the arm
🔸 Pain radiating down the forearm or to the back of the hand, with tightness or aching
🔸 Pain during repetitive hand or arm activities such as typing, using a mouse, opening jars, or carrying heavy items
🔸 Decreased arm strength – Difficulty gripping objects firmly or hand fatigue after prolonged use
🔸 Symptoms that do not improve with rest – If pain persists for more than 1–2 weeks, professional evaluation is recommended
Quick self-check:
If you experience two or more symptoms above, you may already be at risk of Tennis Elbow. Early rehabilitation is essential—do not wait until the condition becomes chronic, as recovery will be slower and recurrence more likely.
Common Treatments—But Are They Enough?
Many people initially try massage, steroid injections, acupuncture, or pain medication.
However, these approaches may not address the root cause of inflammation, leading to recurring or chronic symptoms.
How Is Tennis Elbow Treated at Kloss Wellness Clinic?
At Kloss Wellness Clinic, Tennis Elbow is treated with our IPM Program (Integrated Pain Management)—a targeted, safe, and comprehensive rehabilitation approach designed to reduce pain and restore inflamed elbow tendons.
The program includes:
Medical assessment → Physical therapy → Regenerative injection therapy → Muscle rehabilitation → Nutrition and exercise guidance
Our Specialized Treatment Approach
1. In-Depth Structural Assessment (Physiology Therapy)
Comprehensive evaluation of muscles, joints, and nerves around the elbow. Pain points and repetitive movement habits causing chronic inflammation are identified to create a personalized treatment plan, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
2. Cellular-Level Inflammation Reduction (Active Cell Therapy)
Advanced physical therapy technologies stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, reducing inflammation, swelling, and stiffness while accelerating recovery from within.
3. Cartilage & Tissue Engineering
Targeted regenerative agents are used to reduce inflammation and stimulate repair of damaged tissues caused by overuse or injury.
4. Movement Correction & Ergonomic Training
Our expert team teaches proper stretching techniques and correct arm usage for daily activities to prevent recurrence. Sustainable recovery starts with addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The Importance of Vitamin K in Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, comparable to diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. It has long posed a serious threat to the health and quality of life of the Thai population, particularly older adults. Most elderly individuals with osteoporosis experience no warning symptoms or early signs, resulting in delayed diagnosis and lack of early treatment. Consequently, these individuals are at high risk of fragility fractures at various sites, including the wrist, spine, hip, and upper arm.
