What treatments could help tennis elbow?

A herbalist can prescribe a mixture of herbs that can give relief. These will be a combination of anti inflammatory and analgesic herbs but in the long term the use of herbs that take the fluid away and boost the circulation to that area along with diuretics will help to extend the periods between flare up until hopefully a more stable condition is reached.

Exercise can be effective to reduce the long term effects of tennis elbow. It works by increasing the strength of the muscles in the upper wrist and bicep to stabalize the joint whilst it is being used. Doing low resistance, high repetition exercises on these muscles groups increase blood flow, speeds up the healing process and reduces fluid on the joint.
