Tennis elbow sleeves—or compression sleeves—are commonly used to help treat arm pain caused by lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylalgia (golfer's elbow).
Is a compression sleeve good for tendonitis?
COMPRESSION. This can be achieved by using an ACE wrap or a neoprene elbow sleeve. An elbow brace may be recommended to help support elbow tendons, thereby reducing tension and pressure on these tendons and relieving the inflammation.
What is the most effective treatment for tennis elbow?
Your doctor may recommend the following self-care measures:
- Rest. Avoid activities that aggravate your elbow pain.
- Pain relievers. Try over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or naproxen (Aleve).
- Ice. Apply ice or a cold pack for 15 minutes three to four times a day.
- Technique.
