Ice or heat for tennis elbow treatment?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to treating tennis elbow – ice or heat. So, which is the best option? Tennis elbow is a condition that results from overuse of the muscles and tendons in the elbow, leading to pain and inflammation. It is a common injury among tennis players, but can also affect anyone who uses their arm for repetitive motions.

Ice is often recommended as the first line of treatment for Tennis elbow. It can help to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply ice for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

Heat can also be beneficial for Tennis elbow. Applying heat dilates blood vessels and helps to increase circulation. This can aid in the healing process by bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to the injured area. Use a heating pad or take a warm bath for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

There is no definitive answer as to whether ice or heat is better for Tennis elbow. Some people find relief with one, while others find the other to be more effective. It may take some trial and error to figure out what works best for you.

To make your treatment decision easier, here are the benefits of using ICE & HEAT

BENEFITS OF USING Contrast THerapy TO TREAT TENNIS ELBOW

One treatment option for tennis elbow is contrast therapy. Contrast therapy involves alternating between periods of heat and cold on the affected area. Some people find that this helps to reduce pain and inflammation, and improve range of motion. There is some evidence to suggest that contrast therapy, which alternates between ice and heat, may be beneficial for treating Tennis Elbow. A 2012 study found that contrast therapy was more effective than ice alone in reducing pain and improving function in people with Tennis Elbow.

One theory is that the alternating temperature changes help to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the affected area. This can speed up healing and reduce pain. To try contrast therapy at home, start by applying ice to the affected area for 20 minutes. Then, remove the ice and apply heat for 20 minutes. Repeat this cycle 2-3 times per day until you notice improvements.

If you find relief from contrast therapy, be sure to continue doing it regularly to prevent the pain from returning.
