Overview

A healthcare provider will diagnose tennis elbow with a physical exam and some tests. They’ll examine your injured elbow and ask about your symptoms. Tell your provider when you first noticed pain, stiffness or other symptoms and if any activities make them worse (or better).

Tennis elbow tests

Your provider may use some of the following tests to check for damage inside your arm and take pictures of your elbow:

  • Elbow X-ray.
  • Ultrasound.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Electromyography (EMG).
