Tennis elbow is pain on the outer elbow caused by overload of the forearm tendons, common far beyond tennis courts. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick we treat it with acupuncture, physiotherapy and manual therapy, combined after assessment.
Common symptoms
Pain on the outer elbow, tender to touch
Weak or painful grip

Sudden onset after new activity or overload
Chronic cases with scar tissue from repetitive strain
Aching that spreads down the forearm
How we treat tennis elbow in Chiswick
Tendons heal through load, not rest alone. Your plan typically draws on physiotherapy with progressive loading — the treatment with the strongest evidence — plus acupuncture and manual therapy for pain and tissue quality, and red light therapy supporting tendon recovery. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.
Progressive hand weakness or numbness suggests a nerve issue — see a specialist. New swelling and warmth at the elbow needs your GP to rule out infection.
