​Tennis Injury Clinic in Bromley – Expert Care for Elbow, Shoulder & Wrist Pain

Tennis is a dynamic, high-impact sport that demands quick movement, powerful swings, and repetitive loading — which can easily lead to injury. Whether you’re a recreational player or competing regularly, the Tennis Injury Clinic at Bromley Sports Injury Clinic provides targeted diagnosis and treatment to help you recover faster and play stronger.

We combine clinical assessment, diagnostic ultrasound, and tailored rehabilitation plans to address both sudden injuries and long-standing pain.

• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) – less common but affects the inside of the elbow

​

Diagnostic Ultrasound for Tennis Injuries

We use high-resolution ultrasound to assess:

• Elbow and wrist tendons for thickening, tearing, or calcification

• Rotator cuff integrity during movement

• Bursal swelling or impingement

• Tendon sheath inflammation (tenosynovitis)

This helps us confirm the exact stage of injury and avoid over- or under-treating your condition.

 

For persistent tendon pain, we may also perform ultrasound elastography to measure tendon stiffness and track response to treatment.

 

Blood Tests for Tendon Risk – What’s Beneath the Surface

Some tennis-related injuries, especially tendinopathies, may be influenced by underlying metabolic health. We offer optional blood tests to assess:

• Cholesterol & triglycerides (hyperlipidaemia) – linked to tendon thickening and poor healing

• Inflammatory markers (CRP)

• Vitamin D – essential for tendon and bone repair

• Glucose control – blood sugar imbalance can impact recovery

These tests help ensure your tendon pain isn’t being driven by a hidden systemic issue, and allow us to build a more effective long-term care plan.

FAQs – Tennis Injury Management

Q: How do I know if I have tennis elbow?
Pain on the outer elbow, especially during gripping or backhand motion, is the hallmark symptom. Ultrasound confirms the severity and stage.

Q: Should I rest or keep playing?
Temporary rest may help, but complete rest without guided rehab can lead to chronic problems. We’ll guide you based on your scan findings.

Q: Can I get a scan and treatment in one visit?
Yes — we offer combined diagnostic and treatment appointments.

Q: Can you help me prevent future injuries?
Absolutely. We offer return-to-play support, preventative strength plans we will also collaborate with your coach if we gain your consent.
