Tennis Elbow Treatments
Shockwave Therapy for Tennis Elbow
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues. It’s a relatively new treatment option for individuals suffering from tennis elbow.
How Shockwave Therapy Works for Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is caused by tiny tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow. Shockwave therapy is thought to work by:
- Increasing blood flow to the affected area
- Stimulating the growth of new tissue
- Breaking down scar tissue
The Shockwave Therapy Process
Shockwave therapy is typically performed in a doctor’s office or outpatient clinic and takes about 10-15 minutes.However, more research is still needed to fully understand the long-term efficacy of this treatment and identify the patients most likely to benefit.
- What to Expect During the Treatment
During the procedure, a technician will apply a gel to your elbow and then move a device over the area that generates the high-energy sound waves. The treatment may cause some discomfort, but most people can tolerate it without anesthesia. You may also experience some bruising or redness after the treatment, but this should go away within a few days.
- Number of Treatments Needed
The number of shockwave therapy treatments you need will depend on the severity of your tennis elbow condition. Most people require 3-6 treatments, spaced a week or two apart.
Effectiveness of Shockwave Therapy
Studies have shown that shockwave therapy can be an effective treatment for tennis elbow.
- Research Findings
In one study, people who received shockwave therapy were more likely to experience pain relief compared to those who received a placebo treatment. Shockwave therapy is considered a safe and effective non-invasive option for treating the symptoms of tennis elbow and helping patients avoid surgery.
