DO YOU SUFFER FROM EPICONDYLITIS?
EPICONDYLITIS EXPLAINED
Tennis Elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, affects the inside of the elbow, and Golfer’s Elbow, or medial epicondylitis, affects the outside of the elbow. Both are common overload injuries to the attachment of the forearm muscles in the elbow.
Effective treatment is difficult and these conditions are prone to recurrence. Left alone an episode can last anywhere from 6 month to 2 years!
- Pain and tenderness on the inner or outer side of the elbow, and weak or painful grip.
- Most common between the ages of 30 and 60
- More severe and long lasting in women
- Repetitive strain type injury, normally as a result of work or sports activities.
At ChiroPlus we utilize Shockwave Therapy as an answer to chronic epicondylitis.
Shockwave Therapy uses an acoustic pressure wave to:
- Disrupt the affected tissue
- Stimulate collagen synthesis
- Enhance blood supply
- Flush out pain-transmitting substances
