In short

A tennis arm (epicondylitis lateralis) is a common complaint that we treat successfully. This also applies to the golf elbow (epicondylitis medialis). The difference between the two is in the location of the pain. With a tennis arm, the pain is on the outside of the arm, with a golf elbow on the inside.

Causes and symptoms of tennis arm

The cause of tennis elbow is not always clear. It is believed that overload is the main reason. In our experience, neck or shoulder problems are often associated with a tennis arm. It is possible that these complaints prevent the correct use of the hand and arm and cause problems. Examples of actions that can cause a tennis arm include:

Computer work (mouse arm)
Wring out towels
Screw in screws
Cleaning activities
Technical, manual and professional work
Typing, computer work
Lots of lifting

Some of the symptoms of a tennis arm include:

Pressure pain on the lump on the outside of the elbow
Squeeze or fist pain in the hand
Pain when bending the wrist backwards
Pain when turning the forearm outwards
Redness, warmth, and swelling around the elbow

Tennis arm vs. golf elbow

Tennis arm and golf elbow are both pain symptoms around the elbow, but originate in a different location. With a tennis arm, the pain is on the outside of the elbow, while with a golf elbow, the pain is felt on the inside.

With acupuncture, we focus on reducing pain, relaxing the muscles involved and supporting recovery so that the elbow can move more freely again.

Treating atennis arm with herbs

Many pain symptoms will recover with acupuncture. Sometimes pain symptoms are persistent, intense or complex. With a tennis arm, it can be difficult to relieve it enough during therapy (do not use).

Herbal therapy then offers many benefits and can also be combined with acupuncture. Because you take herbs daily, the therapy is also stronger and better suited for complaints that are very intense. Another advantage is that complex pain symptoms often involve reduced circulation of blood, energy and waste products. All these factors hamper recovery and herbs can all address and dissolve them from within.

Finally: herbs also help strengthen the body and rebuild strength very well. If the body, or part of it, is too weak, this also leads to pain. You could also see this as a form of unintentional overload. Complaints where the above may play a role include:

Atrophy (muscle sagging)
Redness and swelling (inflammation)
Recovering from a (car) accident
Long-term/chronic/persistent complaints

Rene Schreurs

I came to Alexandre with a very clear complaint and question. I had contracted a tennis arm (not from playing tennis, by the way) and it bothered me. To make a not too long story short: Nurture Your Nature has helped me perfectly. Alexandre is a nice and friendly young man and when you see him busy, you really notice how much he loves his job. Every time I drive home, I feel that the treatment has done me a good job. Nurture Your Nature is highly recommended. Mark Soesman

Specialized in pain symptoms

Pain treatment and acupuncture go hand in hand. We have specialized in treating pain symptoms for more than 10 years. Acute and chronic, due to an accident or injury, or from within. You can notice immediate relief for most pain symptoms; for others, the effect must build up. Take a quick look at what we can help you with.

Headaches

With headaches and migraines, you often notice a quick result. For acute and chronic complaints, or, for example, due to hormones. With our method, we reduce tension, improve circulation and increase balance in body and mind.

Neck pain

Neck pain can be very annoying and drastic. We do not only focus on pain relief, but also on the underlying cause. We help you with pain, stiffness and restricted movement. For example, due to stress, an injury, overload or after an accident.

Shoulder pain

Shoulder pain (e.g. frozen shoulder or bursitis) can significantly affect your daily functioning. In addition to relieving pain, we help you recover and balance from within. For permanent results.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

In carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), pain, tingling and loss of strength can interfere with daily use of the hand. We look beyond just the complaint and immediately address the cause, with the aim of a lasting result.

Back pain

Back problems can have a major impact on how you move and function. We help you with both acute and chronic back problems. Such as pain, stiffness and radiating pain. For a quick effect and to strengthen your system where necessary.

Knee pain

Knee problems require a targeted approach. We reduce pain by resolving blockages and stimulating blood flow in the knee joint. For example, for injuries, after surgery or pain due to osteoarthritis.

Joint pain

Joint pain can restrict movement. Our approach stimulates blood flow, reduces pain and improves joint function. With attention to coherence in the body.

Neuropathy

Neuropathic symptoms such as pain, burning or tingling are drastic and can even make exercise difficult. After illness or due to imbalance: acupuncture improves blood flow and helps to reduce these symptoms.
