Why tennis elbow cases spike every spring

Atlanta's tennis leagues ramp up sharply every spring, and so do lateral epicondylitis cases across our network. Here's why the timing matters, and what to do if you're starting to feel it.

Timing Matters

Why so many cases show up this time of year

The pattern is consistent year over year: a sharp increase in cases each spring as league play resumes after a winter layoff.

Tendons that haven't been conditioned over the off-season are suddenly asked to handle a full competitive season's worth of load. Ramping up gradually, rather than jumping straight into league intensity, is one of the simplest ways to reduce risk — but for players who are already symptomatic, our network physicians can evaluate whether it's early-stage irritation or more significant tendon degeneration.

The Procedure

For cases that don't settle down on their own

When rest and a modified training schedule aren't enough, TenJet is one option our network physicians may discuss. Manufactured by HydroCision, Inc., it treats degenerated elbow tendon tissue directly, in-office.

Real-time ultrasound guidance

A high-pressure saline stream targets only damaged tissue

Integrated suction removes it immediately

Local anesthesia, roughly 15 minutes

Reimbursed by Medicare and most private insurers
