Tennis Elbow Orthopedic Union

Personalized treatment with Dr. Paul Rothenberg to get you moving again

Elbow pain got you down? If gripping a tennis racket, carrying groceries, or even typing makes you wince, you could have tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These injuries can mess with your day-to-day life, but Dr. Paul Rothenberg in Union has your back, or rather, your elbow. We’ll figure out what’s wrong and help you feel better, fast.

What’s Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow usually happens when the tendons on the outside of your elbow get sore from overuse. You don’t have to be a tennis champ to deal with it. Things like swinging a hammer, painting a fence, or typing all day can irritate those tendons.

Here’s what it feels like:

What’s Golfer’s Elbow?

Golfer’s elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, usually affects the inside side of the elbow. It results from repeated activities such as grasping a golf club, lifting weights, or even cutting shrubs. You don’t need to play golf to feel the burn.

How We Treat You

At Dr. Rothenberg’s Union office, we dig into what’s causing your pain. We’ll check your elbow and might use X-rays or MRIs to be sure it’s tennis or golfer’s elbow. Then, we make a plan that fits your life, whether you’re a weekend athlete or a desk worker.

Resting and changing how you do things to give your elbow a break

Icing it and taking meds to cut down swelling

Physical therapy to make your forearm stronger

A brace to support your tendons while they heal

Stretches to keep things flexible

If that’s not enough, we might try shots to calm the pain. If it’s really bad and nothing else works, surgery could be the fix, where we clean up the damaged tendon.

Bouncing Back After Surgery

If you need surgery, Dr. Rothenberg will clear out the bad tendon tissue and set you up for healing. You’ll wear a brace for a few weeks, then hit physical therapy to get your strength and movement back. It might take a few months, but stick with the plan, and you’ll likely be back to normal without the pain.
