Elbow pain
Elbow pain is a widespread complaint that can affect people of any age. Frequent causes are repeated stress due to sports or professional activities, which can lead to overwork injuries. Injuries such as sprains or tendon tears are also common triggers. Elbow pain can occur both acutely, due to sudden injuries, and chronically, due to persistent overload or degenerative diseases. Accompanying symptoms are often swelling, restriction of movement and pain that can radiate into the forearm or hand. Typical diseases that cause elbow pain include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golf elbow (medial epicondylitis) and bursitis.

Information
General information about the elbow
The elbow is a complex joint that represents the connection between the upper arm bone (humerus), spoke (radius) and elle (ulna). This joint is essential for the mobility and functionality of the arm and allows both bending and stretching movements as well as rotating movements of the forearm. Surrounded by strong muscles, tendons and ligaments, the elbow provides stability and freedom of movement. The flexibility of the elbow plays an important role in many everyday activities such as grabbing, lifting and carrying.

Causes for elbow pain
Elbow pain can be triggered by several factors, including:
Muscle overload: A common cause of elbow pain is straining the muscles and tendons due to repetitive movements. This often occurs in sports such as tennis, golf, or weightlifting, where certain arm movements are constantly repeated.
Injuries: Acute injuries such as falls, bumps or accidents can lead to bruises, sprains or even fractures in the elbow area. These injuries cause immediate pain and limitations of mobility.
Tendonitis: Excessive or repeated exercise can lead to tendonitis, such as tennis elbow (lateral epichondrylitis) or golf elbow (medial epichondrylitis).
Arthritis: Arthritic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, can affect the elbow and cause pain and stiffness. These diseases lead to inflammation and wear of the joints.
Nerve compression: When nerves in the elbow are pinched or irritated, as in cubitatal tunnel syndrome, pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms may occur.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the mucous membranes (bursae) in the elbow, often due to overuse or repeated rubbing, can lead to painful swelling and movement restrictions.

How does K-Active Tape help with elbow pain?
The K-Active Tape can be used effectively for elbow pain. The elastic and self-adhesive properties of the kinesiological tape support the elbow area by stabilizing the muscles and joints without restricting the freedom of movement. In addition, the tape can affect sensory perception and thus contribute to pain relief. It helps to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and speed up the healing of injuries. Through improved proprioception, the tape can also help correct incorrect postures and prevent overloads.
