Although such pain is a common condition, it does not usually cause any damage to the actual joint. Instead, a tennis elbow occurs in the muscles and tendons around it. Even though it can cause a lot of pain and make patients unable to move well, most of them do not need severe treatment. Instead, they can take it easy for a while, have physiotherapy, or take anti-inflammatory drugs. More severe cases may require additional treatments. These may include corticosteroid injections, advanced chiropractic care to manage pain and support healing, or even tennis elbow surgery.
Rehabilitative exercises are critical when it comes to tending tennis elbow. This treatment method includes targeted workouts that beef up forearm muscles and boost flexibility. We can relieve tension and increase blood flow to the lateral epicondyle area. With regular exercises, patients often find their pain decreases, and their function improves.
Regenerative injections can decrease inflammation and pain. Our healthcare providers use only natural relievers to heal the affected areas around an elbow joint. The helpful substances reduce short-term symptoms and contribute to long-term regeneration. They allow patients to perform rehabilitative exercises and daily activities more comfortably. We can also offer PRP injections, which involve extracting special proteins from the patient’s blood sample, concentrating them, and re-injecting them into the painful areas.
Chiropractic care can alleviate the symptoms of tennis elbow by improving the alignment and function of the muscles and bones. Treatment may include joint adjustments, soft tissue work, and specific exercises to reduce pain and increase movement. This all-encompassing method tackles the underlying causes of discomfort in the upper arm bone, fostering lasting health improvements.
ESWT is a non-invasive treatment for tennis elbow that uses acoustic shock waves to stimulate healing in the affected tendons. By improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration, ESWT can effectively alleviate pain and improve elbow function. It is often considered a safe and effective option for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments like rest or physical therapy.
The therapy starts with a complete physical examination. Our chiropractor carefully reviews a patient’s medical history and conducts a check-up of the elbow, wrist, and arm. To confirm a diagnosis of tennis elbow, we may suggest diagnostic tests, such as X-rays. Using this information, our chiropractor creates an individualized treatment plan.
Manual adjustments are a vital part of chiropractic treatment for tennis elbow. They target the joints of the wrist and elbow. Using the latest techniques, our chiropractor relieves pressure on muscles and tendons. By restoring normal joint function, adjustments can help ease pain, speed up healing, and improve how a patient’s arm works.
This treatment involves small, careful movements to correct the elbow and nearby joints. By doing this just the right way, we minimize pain or unease. After this procedure, patients experience less swelling and better circulation around the area. In addition, the range of motion and flexibility in the arm and elbow may improve.
In addition to manual adjustments, rehabilitative exercises and regenerative injections may be part of the overall plan. Exercises strengthen the forearm muscles and increase flexibility. Injections of natural substances can help manage pain and swelling. Other therapies are also available to address different types of discomfort.
During the first few days post-treatment, it’s essential to rest and move slowly so that an elbow doesn’t become stiff. Light stretches may be beneficial. They help patients stay flexible as their tendons and muscles continue to mend without placing too much tension on them.
