Tennis Elbow Natural Cure

As research and medical technologies have advanced, we are learning more and more about the harmful side effects of ingesting medication to deal with injuries and pain.

This applies to individuals who seek out a natural tennis elbow cure.  It’s unfortunate that many tennis elbow sufferers resort to popping anti-inflammatory NSAID’s every 3-4 hours, day after day, as a sort of “treatment” for tennis elbow.  When in fact, all they are doing is making their injury worse and extending their recovery time from this terrible, stubborn repetitive strain injury.

There really is no arguing that tennis elbow is painful and can even be debilitating.  Even the smallest, micro tear in your extensor tendon can cause pain that sometimes shoots from your elbow, down your forearm and into your wrist.

Despite the myth that tennis elbow only happens to tennis players, individuals from all walks of life, occupations, and backgrounds flood into doctor’s offices each and every year in search of relief from their elbow pain.

Doctors are quick to recommend an elbow brace or splint as a natural cure, simply because most doctors don’t specialize in treating tennis elbow but want to provide some sort of “option” to the patient to give them peace of mind and “hope” for recovery and pain relief.

In fact, elbow braces and splints do nothing to treat tennis elbow or decrease elbow soreness.  On the contrary, it’s quite common than many sufferers will actually make their tennis elbow symptoms even worse by wearing an elbow brace.  The reason being is that many people will return to the movements, activities, sports, hobbies or occupation that was responsible for their injury in the first place.  As a result, the tear in their extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle usually ends up getting larger resulting in more pain and agony!

What many individuals who suffer from tennis elbow are unaware of is that there are 100%, all natural cures and options for their injury.

As mentioned earlier, there are endless news stories and research coming out, each and every day about the the bad, side effects of over-the-counter medications and non FDA approved drugs.

Here are 5 tennis elbow natural cure options that I recommend you consider, even tennis elbow vitamins, as an option for helping control your outer elbow pain and soreness.

1. Omega 3 fatty acids – they are known to have great anti-inflammatory properties are even recommended for the most serious arthritic patients.
2. Warm potato packs – Simply cook/boil potatoes.  Mash them and then put them in a tea towel or cloth.  Apply the warm potato mash to the outside of your affected elbow for 10 minutes.
3. Hot peppers, aka Zostrix – Again these spicy peppers have super anti-inflammtory properties.  Simply wrap the pepper in tea towel or cloth and apply to your affected elbow for 10-15 minutes every day.
4. Celery – It has great healing properties and is used frequently in rheumatism.
5. Ice packs – Far and away the best all natural cure for tennis elbow.  Helps control and swelling or inflammation you have at the elbow.  Put ice in a tea towel or cloth and apply directly to your affected elbow.  Keep it on for 10-15 minutes every 3-4 hours until the swelling has gone down.  Note that elbow inflammation and swelling only occurs within the first 2 -3 weeks of suffering a tennis elbow injury.
