Abstract

Lateral epicondylitis, also known as ‘tennis elbow’, is a very common condition that presents with pain and tenderness on the lateral side of the elbow due to the repetitive stress, results in inflammation of the common extensor tendon of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. According to Ayurveda, Snayugata Vikara can be correlated with the condition of tennis elbow. Agnikarma being superior among all surgical and parasurgical procedure by its action seems to be more effective in providing instant pain relief. The therapeutic effects of Agnikarma with Kshoudra include relief of pain and muscle spasm, acceleration of healing, promotion of resolution of inflammation and increase in the range of movement of joint.
