How we evaluate tennis elbow
A good plan starts with understanding the problem. The evaluation is based on your symptoms, your goals, and the activities you want to get back to.
History
We talk through what hurts, what makes it better or worse, what you have tried, and what activities matter most to you.
Movement
We assess how the involved area moves and how surrounding regions may be contributing.
Strength
We look at strength, control, capacity, and the movements your sport, training, work, or life requires.
Plan
You leave with a clear explanation and a plan that may include hands-on care, rehab, and activity modifications.
Evaluation may include
- Elbow and wrist movement assessment
- Grip and forearm strength testing
- Shoulder and upper-chain screening
- Review of work, sport, and lifting demands
- Tendon loading tolerance assessment
Care may include
- Forearm strengthening progressions
- Soft tissue treatment

- Return-to-sport or work planning
Care built for active people who want a plan
Many patients come to us after trying rest, stretching, massage, quick adjustments, YouTube exercises, or generic rehab that did not fully solve the problem. We help connect the dots between the painful area, the way you move, and the demands of your sport or daily life.
Visits are one-on-one and may include chiropractic care, soft tissue treatment, rehab exercises, movement assessment, and practical guidance for returning to training, sport, work, or daily activity.

Common questions about tennis elbow
Is tennis elbow only from tennis?
No. It can come from many gripping, lifting, sport, or work-related demands.
Should I rest tennis elbow completely?
Sometimes activity needs to be modified, but tendons often need progressive loading rather than only rest.
Can strengthening help tennis elbow?
Yes. Progressive forearm strengthening is often a key part of improving tendon tolerance.
Can shoulder weakness contribute?
Sometimes. The shoulder and scapula can influence how much stress the elbow and forearm need to tolerate.
