Tennis Elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, might sound like a condition only athletes get, but it can affect anyone who overuses their forearm muscles. This painful condition can make it difficult to grip objects, shake hands, or even lift a cup of coffee. If left untreated, Tennis Elbow can become a long-term issue that affects your daily life. The great news is that Shockwave Therapy offers a proven, non-invasive solution to treat this condition and get you back to living pain-free.
What Causes Tennis Elbow?
Tennis Elbow is caused by repetitive motion or overuse of the forearm muscles, often associated with sports like tennis or activities such as typing, painting, or even gardening. The repetitive strain leads to small tears in the tendons that attach to the elbow, resulting in pain, stiffness, and weakness.
Traditional treatments include rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy, but these methods can take months to provide relief. Shockwave Therapy offers a faster, more effective solution by addressing the root cause of the pain.
How Shockwave Therapy Heals Tennis Elbow
Shockwave Therapy works by delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. These waves increase blood flow, break down damaged tissue, and promote new tissue growth, allowing the tendon to heal more effectively.
The beauty of Shockwave Therapy is that it doesn’t just relieve pain temporarily—it actually helps repair the injured tendon. At Elevate Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we’ve seen fantastic results with our patients suffering from Tennis Elbow, many of whom have reported a significant reduction in pain after just a few sessions.
What to Expect from Shockwave Therapy
Each session lasts about 15–20 minutes, and while you may feel some discomfort during treatment, it is typically well-tolerated. Most patients experience noticeable improvements after 3–5 sessions, with pain gradually diminishing over time.
Best of all, Shockwave Therapy is non-invasive and requires no downtime, meaning you can continue with your regular activities while receiving treatment.
