Excerpts from the entry on Tennis Elbow in Relieving Pain Naturally by Dr. Sylvia Goldfarb and Roberta W. Waddell. For full entries on all 37 conditions and 27 treatments, order the book.

Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the muscles, tendons, bursa, membranes (periosteum) and bony projections on the inside and outside of the elbow. Although tennis is the primary cause of tennis elbow, you do not necessarily have to play the game to have the problem. It can occur in any sport or occupational activity that requires you to twist your hand, wrist, or forearm.
