Tennis elbow care at Mayo Clinic
Your Mayo Clinic care team
Specialists in sports medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and orthopedic surgery have extensive experience and expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of tennis elbow. After you return home, Mayo Clinic physicians coordinate ongoing care with your family doctor.
Advanced evaluation and prevention strategies
The technique you use when performing your sport or activity can have a major impact on whether you are at risk of tennis elbow, and correction of suboptimal technique is critical in preventing recurrence. Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine staff members use video analysis to evaluate golfers and athletes who use overhead movements to make sure technique flaws are not contributing to symptoms.
Novel, state-of-the-art treatments by nationally recognized experts
Mayo Clinic doctors helped develop a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound delivered via a needle-like instrument inserted into the damaged tendon. This procedure breaks up the damaged tissue — which can restore function and relieve tennis elbow pain. It can be performed in a doctor's office and requires no stitches.

Each year, Mayo Clinic specialists in sports medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and orthopedic surgery diagnose and treat more than a thousand people experiencing the signs and symptoms of tennis elbow.
