If you’ve ever experienced nagging pain on the inside or outside of your elbow, you might be dealing with lateral or medial epicondylitis—commonly known as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. Despite their sporty names, these conditions don’t just affect athletes. Repetitive arm movements from work, hobbies, or even daily activities can lead to inflammation and pain in the tendons around the elbow. The good news? Relief is possible, and Shockwave Therapy is one of the most effective treatments available.
What is Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow?
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) affects the outer part of the elbow, while medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) affects the inner part. Both conditions are caused by overuse and strain on the tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, and weakness in the arm and grip.
Common symptoms include:
Pain or burning sensation around the elbow
Weak grip strength
Stiffness, especially in the morning
Increased pain with gripping or lifting objects
How Can Shockwave Therapy Help?
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment that has been used successfully for decades to heal musculoskeletal injuries. It works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. Here’s how it helps:
Accelerates healing: Stimulates the regeneration of tendon tissues, reducing pain and inflammation.
Breaks down scar tissue and calcifications: Helps restore mobility and function.
Reduces pain: Diminishes pain signals in the nerves, providing relief even in chronic cases.
Improves circulation: Increases blood flow to the injured area, promoting faster recovery.
