Game, Set, Recover: Treating Common Tennis Injuries

woman has an elbow pain

Tennis is an exhilarating sport that demands agility, precision, and endurance. However, the repetitive movements and high impact nature of the game can sometimes lead to injuries. At Manhattan Sports Therapy, we understand the unique challenges faced by tennis players and are here to provide comprehensive care for the most common tennis-related injuries. Here are three prevalent injuries among tennis players and how physical therapy and chiropractic care can play a pivotal role in the recovery process.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis elbow is a condition characterized by inflammation and pain in the tendons of the forearm. It typically occurs due to repetitive gripping and swinging motions involved in tennis. Physical therapy can help by incorporating exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the elbow, improving flexibility, and implementing targeted stretches to alleviate pain. Chiropractic care can also provide relief by using techniques such as joint manipulation and soft tissue therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The repetitive overhead motions in tennis can strain the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff, leading to tears or inflammation. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitating rotator cuff injuries by focusing on strengthening the muscles, improving range of motion, and enhancing stability. Chiropractic care can complement this treatment by addressing any spinal misalignments that may contribute to shoulder dysfunction, thus optimizing the healing process.

Ankle Sprains

Tennis involves quick changes in direction, which can sometimes result in ankle sprains. Physical therapy offers a multi-faceted approach to ankle sprain rehabilitation, including exercises to restore strength and balance, as well as techniques to reduce swelling and improve flexibility. Chiropractic care can help by addressing any misalignments in the ankle or other joints that may impact the healing process, promoting optimal recovery.

Having performed surgery for decades my neck And back have been damaged. I can honestly say that Rachel has kept me functioning at a high level. Nobody else was. Despite being a surgical candidate which is refused to have she managed to overcome all of my problems. The office is also immaculately clean ( I am a germaphobe). Chiro in the past was hit or miss. Sometimes it helped and sometimes it actually made things worse. This has never happened with Rachel. I always feel better. Guaranteed. She will bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule. She is a rising star.

The entire staff is very helpful, kind, and extremely efficient. If it wasn't for Dr. Rolland Miro I strongly feel the bursitis in my shoulder would still be in major pain. If you have shoulder pain, rotator cuff issues, or bursitis don't hesitate, RUN to see this man! I came to Manhattan Sports Therapy skeptical because I had already visited two other physical therapist who were not getting me better. I had pain for 9 months until visiting MST. Miro was patient with my healing process and was always transparent when telling me what stages I was in my recovery. Now I am fully recovered back to pumping iron and putting on a backpack without pain. Thank you to everyone in that office for making my experience great from start to finish.

I was having severe inner hip and lower back pain for months. Every step I took was painful. I couldn't run, bike, swim or even attempt a workout. I started seeing a PT twice a week for a month and nothing happened, in fact, my pain increased. So, I decided to try another Physician and I found Manhattan Sports Therapy and Dr. Rolland Miro. After my first appointment, I knew I made the right choice. I started seeing Dr. Rolland twice a week. After my first week, I could already feel a HUGE difference. After week three, the pain in my hip was completely gone. It's now been two months and as I continue my treatment, I'm feeling better and better. I ran five miles for the first time in over a year last week! I highly highly recommend Dr. Rolland. He's the best at what he does and he's very knowledgable when it comes to health and fitness all around.
