Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow, where tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the lateral epicondyle. It commonly results from repetitive wrist and arm motions, overuse of forearm muscles, trauma, or strain. Symptoms include pain during gripping, lifting, or twisting motions, tenderness over the lateral elbow, weakness of the forearm, stiffness, and swelling. Although often associated with tennis or racket sports, it also occurs in occupations involving repetitive arm movements like typing, painting, or manual labor. Chronic cases may reduce grip strength and limit daily activities.

Homoeopathy treats tennis elbow by addressing inflammation, pain, and tendon-muscle weakness. Remedies are selected based on pain characteristics (stinging, burning, tearing, or bruised sensation), aggravating and relieving factors, and constitutional tendencies. Homoeopathy not only relieves acute pain but also promotes tissue healing, restores muscle and tendon strength, and prevents recurrence. Individualized treatment ensures long-term improvement and supports joint function.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Tennis Elbow

Pain on outer elbow aggravated by gripping or lifting – Rhus Toxicodendron

Pain along lateral epicondyle extending to forearm; stiffness and soreness worse on rest and initial movement; better with gentle motion and warmth; aggravated by cold, damp weather.

Burning pain along tendon with swelling – Bryonia Alba

Severe burning pain on movement; elbow stiff and tender; pain aggravated by motion; better by rest and pressure; worse morning and after overuse; swelling may accompany pain.

Aching and bruised sensation – Arnica Montana

Pain feels as if elbow is beaten; tenderness on touch; soreness after minor trauma or overuse; better by gentle rubbing and warmth; associated with fatigue of forearm muscles.

Stinging pain aggravated by sudden movement – Ruta Graveolens

Sharp, shooting pain along tendons; worse on sudden twisting or lifting; stiffness and soreness in elbow and forearm; better from rest or massage; chronic overuse history.

Pain extending to wrist and forearm – Hypericum Perforatum

Tenderness along radial nerve; shooting or electric pain; worse from pressure; soreness of muscles of forearm; pain may wake patient at night; history of nerve involvement.

Weakness of grip and difficulty holding objects – Causticum

Inability to hold pens, tools, or cups; heaviness of forearm; stiffness and cramping on exertion; pain gradually increasing over time; better with warmth.

Pain worse on stretching forearm muscles – Kalmia Latifolia

Burning or tearing pain when extending wrist or fingers; stiffness; discomfort radiates to shoulder; worse on exertion; better with gentle support.

Tender, hot, and inflamed elbow – Belladonna

Sudden onset redness, heat, and swelling over lateral epicondyle; throbbing pain; hypersensitivity to touch; aggravated by movement and light pressure; better by cold applications.

Pain after repetitive strain or sports – Ruta + Arnica alternation

Chronic soreness; bruised and stiff elbow; weakness; pain during twisting or lifting; better from warmth and massage; aggravated by cold or damp weather.

Pain aggravated by writing or typing – Nux Vomica

Soreness along lateral elbow; cramping of forearm muscles; aggravated by overuse, sedentary work, or stimulants; better with rest; irritability and tension.

Pain with numbness and tingling – Hypericum + Rhus Tox alternation

Shooting, electric pain radiating down forearm; tenderness of lateral epicondyle; aggravated by pressure; history of overuse or minor injury; worse at night.

Pain aggravated in morning and on initial motion – Bryonia + Rhus Tox alternation

Stiffness with burning pain; worse on initial movement; pain eases slightly after continued motion; chronic dull ache persists; tenderness remains.

Chronic inflammation with swelling and thickened tendons – Graphites

Chronic tendon pain; lateral epicondyle thickened; stiffness and soreness; aggravated by damp, cold weather; slow recovery after overuse.

Pain aggravated by repetitive lifting – Ruta + Kalmia alternation

Sharp tearing pain; soreness of tendon insertion; forearm weak; better by warmth and support; aggravated by lifting, twisting, or sudden movement.

Pain with hyperalgesia to touch – Hypericum + Belladonna alternation

Tender lateral epicondyle; shooting, stinging pain; hypersensitivity to pressure; aggravated by light touch or sudden motion; restless and irritable due to pain.

Pain aggravated by overexertion or sports activity – Rhus Aromaticum

Burning, tearing pain; aggravated by repetitive motion; tenderness over elbow; slight swelling; better on rest and warmth; worse in damp weather.

Pain after fall or direct trauma – Arnica + Ruta alternation

Tenderness, bruising, swelling; sharp pain on movement; soreness along tendon insertion; better with gentle massage; history of trauma to elbow.

Stiffness with inability to fully extend elbow – Bryonia + Kalmia alternation

Burning and tearing pain; stiffness aggravated by movement; pain radiates to forearm; worse in cold, dry, or windy weather; better lying down or with gentle warmth.

Pain with cramping forearm muscles – Nux Vomica + Rhus Tox alternation

Cramping and soreness during activity; lateral epicondyle tender; aggravated by overuse or long typing sessions; better after gentle motion and warmth.

Chronic weakness and tendency to recurrence – Causticum + Graphites alternation

Persistent aching and stiffness; weakness of forearm; soreness on lifting or twisting; aggravated by cold, damp, and overuse; slow recovery; prevention of recurrence is main goal.

Tennis elbow is primarily a repetitive strain injury involving tendon inflammation and micro-tears. Homoeopathy offers rapid relief from pain, stiffness, burning, and tenderness, promotes tendon healing, restores grip strength, and prevents recurrence. Constitutional treatment enhances tissue resilience, reduces susceptibility to overuse injuries, and supports long-term musculoskeletal health. Acute remedies manage flare-ups, while chronic remedies strengthen the forearm and elbow over time.
