Abstract: Background: Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a frequently occurring musculoskeletal disorder characterized by elbow pain and reduced functional capacity. It is often accompanied by non-specific neck pain, likely due to the biomechanical relationship between the cervical spine and the upper limb. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the Tyler Twist technique, inhibition–ischemic compression, and conventional therapy in alleviating pain and enhancing functional outcomes in individuals with lateral epicondylitis associated with non-specific neck pain. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study using a one-group pre-test–post-test design was carried out on individuals aged 30–40 years diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis and non-specific neck pain. A total of 36 participants underwent interventions including the Tyler Twist technique, inhibition–ischemic compression technique, and conventional physiotherapy. Outcome measures included the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), Neck Disability Index (NDI), grip strength, and Myofascial Diagnostic Scale (MFDS). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: The experimental group exhibited significant improvements in pain levels, muscle strength, and functional performance following the intervention. Conclusion: The combined use of the Tyler Twist technique, inhibition–ischemic compression, and conventional therapy is effective in the management of lateral epicondylitis associated with non-specific neck pain.
