Personalised Chiropractic Care for Tennis Elbow in London
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylalgia, causes pain on the outer side of the elbow, often spreading down the forearm. Despite the name, most people who get it do not play tennis.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the elbow together with the wrist, shoulder and neck, because these areas can contribute to arm pain. See also our shoulder pain page and wrist pain page.

Understanding Tennis Elbow
Common Causes of Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is an overuse problem of the tendons that attach to the outer elbow. It is linked to repetitive gripping and wrist movements such as typing, using tools, lifting, racket sports and painting.
Neck and shoulder stiffness can add load to the arm, and nerve irritation in the neck can mimic elbow pain. Chiropractic care may help when it is combined with graded loading exercises for the forearm and advice on how you use the arm.
Clear, personalised care for tennis elbow
Every tennis elbow consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your elbow, wrist, shoulder and neck, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Tennis Elbow?
I take a detailed history and examine the elbow, wrist, shoulder and neck. Treatment may include soft tissue work to the forearm, joint mobilisation or adjustment where appropriate, advice on activity and a progressive strengthening plan.
Tendons respond best to the right amount of load, so I explain how to adapt tasks rather than stop everything. If your symptoms do not fit tennis elbow, or need further investigation, I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Tennis Elbow Symptoms
Outer Elbow Pain When Gripping or Lifting
Typical symptoms are a sore spot on the outer elbow, pain when gripping, lifting a kettle or turning a door handle, and tenderness when pressing on the bony point. Pain often builds over weeks.
Short rests, modifying repetitive tasks and a counterforce strap can ease strain while you are being assessed. If the elbow is hot, swollen and feverish, or follows a significant injury, seek medical help. See also neck pain.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Tennis Elbow
Can a chiropractor help with tennis elbow?
Chiropractic care may help by easing tension in the forearm, treating related joints in the wrist, shoulder and neck, and guiding a loading plan for the tendon.
What causes tennis elbow?
Overuse of the forearm extensor tendons from repeated gripping and wrist movements is the usual cause.
How long does tennis elbow last?
It can take weeks to months to settle. Progressive loading and sensible activity changes often speed recovery.
Is it tennis elbow or a neck problem?
Both can cause arm pain. I examine your neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist to work out which area is the source.
When should I seek medical advice?
See a doctor if the elbow is hot, swollen or feverish, if you cannot move it after an injury, or if you have numbness or weakness in the hand.
What happens at a first tennis elbow appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for tennis elbow?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
