Gripping a racket, turning a wrench, or pouring coffee can send a sharp ache through your outer elbow when the forearm tendons are inflamed. A tennis elbow strap applies focused pressure just below the elbow joint, reducing strain on the tendon attachment point so you can use your arm with less discomfort.
The Doc Ortho Tennis Elbow Strap features a pressure pad that sits over the forearm muscles connected to the lateral epicondyle (the bony bump on the outside of your elbow). An adjustable tension strap lets you control how much compression the support band delivers. The compact design fits under long sleeves without adding bulk.

Four sizes (SM, MD, LG, XL) for a proper fit
Straighten your arm and locate the fleshy part of your forearm about one to two inches below the bony point of your elbow.
Position the pressure pad over that area, on the outer side for tennis elbow or the inner side for golfer's elbow.
Wrap the strap around your forearm and fasten it snugly. You should feel firm pressure without numbness or tingling in your hand.
Make a fist and gently flex your wrist to confirm the pad stays in place.
Readjust tension as needed, especially when switching between activities.
Pro Tip: A forearm strap for tennis elbow works best alongside rest, ice, and gradual strengthening exercises. Visit the Doc Ortho Bracing Guide for more on choosing elbow support.

What is a tennis elbow strap, and how does it work?
A tennis elbow support band wraps around the forearm below the elbow and applies targeted pressure to the tendon, reducing strain during gripping and lifting motions.
How do I wear a tennis elbow strap correctly?
Place the pressure pad one to two inches below the outer elbow bone, wrap snugly, and adjust until you feel firm support without finger numbness.
Do elbow straps really work for tennis elbow?
Many people experience noticeable pain reduction when wearing a properly positioned forearm strap. Combining it with rest and physical therapy typically produces better results.
How many hours a day should you wear a tennis elbow strap?
Wear it during activities that aggravate symptoms. Around-the-clock use isn't typically recommended. Your healthcare provider can advise on the right schedule.
