Does tennis elbow heal on its own?

In mild cases, symptoms can improve with rest, activity modification, and physiotherapy within a few weeks. However, chronic pain lasting more than 6 weeks usually needs medical treatment to prevent further tendon damage.

Is tennis elbow only caused by playing tennis?

No. It is caused by repetitive strain of the elbow tendons. Activities like typing, cooking, carpentry, or any task involving wrist movement can also cause tennis elbow.

How is tennis elbow diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves a clinical examination of the elbow, grip test, and sometimes imaging like ultrasound or MRI to assess tendon damage.

Are PRP injections effective for tennis elbow?

Yes. PRP injections have shown promising results in stimulating natural tendon healing, especially in chronic cases unresponsive to physiotherapy or steroids.

When is surgery required?

Surgery is recommended when pain persists despite 6 - 12 months of non-surgical treatment. Arthroscopic release is the most commonly performed procedure.

How long will I need physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy usually continues for 4 - 6 weeks post-surgery to restore strength and range of motion, with follow-ups for up to 3 months.

Can tennis elbow come back after treatment?

It can recur if repetitive strain is not avoided. Following an ergonomic routine, using proper techniques, and doing strengthening exercises helps prevent recurrence.

Is it covered by insurance?

Yes. Tennis elbow treatment, including surgery, is covered under most health insurance plans in India, including cashless policies. Our team handles all paperwork and pre-authorisation for you.

How it Works

Your Tennis Elbow Journey at Even Hospitals

Step 1

Consultation & Diagnosis

After consultation & physical examination, your doctor evaluates the severity of your tennis elbow and recommends the right treatment.

Step 2

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Treatment starts with non-surgical options; arthroscopic release surgery is recommended only when conservative treatment fails.

Step 3

Post-Procedure Care

Patients are guided with physiotherapy and bracing; those who undergo surgery are discharged the same day or next day.

Step 4

Recovery & Follow-Up

Non-surgical recovery takes 4 - 6 weeks, while arthroscopic surgery patients resume normal activities in 2 - 4 weeks.

Advanced Tennis Elbow Treatments We Offer

Arthroscopic Tennis Elbow Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and fine instruments to release the damaged tendon fibres around the elbow. It ensures precise treatment, faster recovery, and minimal scarring for persistent tennis elbow cases.

30 - 45 minute procedure
Recovery in 2 - 4 weeks

Non-Surgical Treatment

Non-surgical treatment includes physiotherapy, activity modification, bracing, and targeted injections like PRP or corticosteroids. It is recommended for early or mild cases of tennis elbow and often provides effective pain relief without surgery.

Gradual relief in 4 - 6 weeks
Avoids surgery in most cases
