Tennis elbow treatment STARTS WITH SPORTVISTM

What is tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)?

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. Tennis elbow is inflammation, or in some cases, micro-tearing of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow.

The forearm tendons become damaged from repeated motion. This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow.

SportVisTM is a treatment option that not only provides pain relief from tennis elbow, but also works with your body to facilitate recovery, getting you back to your activities sooner.

Tennis elbow pain begins mild in severity and worsens over weeks and months.
