The evidence-based guide to understanding, treating, and overcoming tennis elbow-from a triple board-certified orthopedic surgeon and regenerative medicine expert.
That persistent pain on the outside of the elbow has become impossible to ignore. It flares up when gripping a golf club, lifting weights, carrying groceries, or simply shaking hands. Rest hasn't helped. Braces provide only temporary relief. And the frustration of being sidelined from favorite activities is mounting.
For the millions of active adults dealing with tennis elbow each year-most of whom have never picked up a tennis racket-Dr. David Geier offers a comprehensive roadmap to recovery.
Drawing on nearly two decades of experience as an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, plus his current focus on regenerative medicine, Dr. Geier cuts through the confusion and conflicting information to deliver what readers actually need: clear explanations, evidence-based treatment options, and practical strategies that work.
What readers will learn:
. The anatomy behind tennis elbow and why understanding it matters for recovery
. How to confirm the diagnosis-and rule out conditions that mimic tennis elbow
. Which conservative treatments have research support and which fall short
. The honest truth about regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells
. When surgery becomes the right choice and what to expect
. Step-by-step rehabilitation exercises with clear instructions
. Proven prevention strategies to avoid recurrence
Unlike generic advice found online, this guide addresses the specific needs of active adults aged 40-70-recreational athletes, fitness enthusiasts, weekend warriors, and those with physically demanding jobs who refuse to accept that elbow pain is "just part of getting older."
Dr. Geier's approach is refreshingly straightforward. No miracle cures. No exaggerated claims. Just honest guidance based on what the research actually shows, delivered in accessible language that empowers readers to make informed decisions about their care.
