Ischemia (lack of blood flow) can contribute to tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) through a process of reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the tendons and muscles in the forearm, specifically around the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. Here's how ischemia plays a role in the development or worsening of tennis elbow.

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury that causes pain on the outer part of the elbow. It occurs when the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the elbow joint become inflamed, often due to repetitive motions like gripping or lifting. This can lead to discomfort, tenderness, and difficulty performing simple activities like lifting objects, typing, or even holding a cup of coffee.

If you’re dealing with these symptoms, you’re not alone—and the good news is that effective home treatments can provide relief.
