Tennis Elbow / Golfer's ElbowJoints are very elaborate structures and the forearm is joined to the upper arm making up the elbow. The muscles which manipulate the arm are attached to the bone by string-like structures of fibrous tissue called tendons. Inflammation of the tendons attached to the outside of the humerus bone of the upper arm will result in the pain and disability of tennis elbow and, when the inflammation affects the tendon of the inside of the arm, the result is golfer's elbow. The many causes or inflammation of tennis elbow and golfer's elbow must be addressed, including injury sustained by over activity, food allergy/intolerance, pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungus/Candida and parasites), toxins such as metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury etc), chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, preservatives etc), radiation (DECT phones, mobiles and masts, air travel etc), drugs (NSAIDs, steroids etc), and not forgetting malabsorption of essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals and especially fatty acids of EPA and DHA.
Apart from a very brief period of rest followed quickly by rehabilitative exercise, the treatment of tennis elbow and golfer's elbow is to address the causative factors and to supply the essential tools for reduction of inflammation and proper healing and regeneration of healthy tissue, which include amino acids, vitamins, minerals and especially the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, as well as probiotics, soluble and insoluble fibre from fruits, vegetables and whole grains, not forgetting adequate amounts of water, a regular daily exercise regime and sunlight, when possible.
