Abstract
In brief: Tennis elbow is not exclusively the bailiwick of tennis players. For example, pianists and anyone wielding a hammer are prone to the ailment. But regardless of the cause, the first step in treatment is to relieve pain and decrease inflammation. Then rehabilitation exercises can begin. Alterations in equipment and techniques that contribute to the problem are often key to recovery and prevention.
