Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) are conditions caused by overuse of the elbow.
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) are conditions caused by overuse of the elbow. Golfer’s elbow affects the inner elbow, causing pain and tenderness, while tennis elbow affects the outer elbow. Both result from repetitive strain on the forearm muscles and tendons, leading to pain and inflammation.
Common causes of golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) include repetitive strain and overuse of the elbow from activities involving gripping or swinging. Golfer’s elbow affects the inner elbow due to repetitive wrist flexion, while tennis elbow impacts the outer elbow from repetitive wrist extension. Poor technique, improper equipment, and sudden increases in activity can also contribute.
We are committed to personalizing treatment plans based on what is best for every individual’s UNIQUE circumstances to include symptoms, budget, lifestyle, and goals. Conservative (non-surgical) care is effective in resolving pain and injuries most of the time.
We will evaluate your health history, symptoms, and conduct functional movement tests to help determine the severity of your condition. We may use our patented 3D mobility health assessment tool to objectively measure and baseline your range of motion and stability of joints.
If your condition qualifies for conservative care options, we will present a treatment plan that includes only those modalities proven to be effective in treating your condition. This may include shockwave, PRP, light therapy, and fascial manipulation. You will be provided with at least treatment plan options and timelines with transparent out of pocket costs to you.
More than 62% of chronic and over 78% of acute back pain is resolved with conservative care delivered over a period of time mutually agreed to fit your schedule. Conservative care treatments work best when spread out over a 3 to 6-week period to allow adequate healing between treatment modalities
If your symptoms and condition is not eligible for conservative care, or conservative care did not produce the desired outcomes, we start with an expert/accurate diagnosis from our medical doctor pain specialists. Our medical director (6-time patented medical device inventor) will personally conduct a 90-minute comprehensive evaluation to include reviewing available imaging resulting in an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan options.
Our goal is to resolve pain, improve strength, and improve range of motion without surgery. We are consistently successful in achieving this in over 90% of cases. In those rare cases in which surgery is necessary we will guide you by finding the right surgeon we trust for your particular injury and circumstances. We are your independent experts and not financially motivated to conduct surgeries.
Golfers’ elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) are common elbow conditions characterized by pain and inflammation in the tendons. Integrative and regenerative medicine therapies offer effective treatments for these conditions. Here’s a summary of proven therapies with related studies:
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.
Red Light Therapy, or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Inflammation Programs include dietary modifications, supplements, and lifestyle changes designed to reduce systemic inflammation.
Hands-On Medical Massage involves techniques that improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.
Sleep Programs focus on improving sleep quality, which can affect inflammation and healing.
Integrative and regenerative therapies such as shockwave therapy, red light therapy, inflammation programs, hands-on medical massage, and improved sleep quality have been shown to be effective for treating golfers’ and tennis elbow. These approaches help reduce pain, inflammation, and promote healing, offering patients a comprehensive strategy for managing elbow tendinopathies.
Red light therapy uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver specific wavelengths of light to injured tissues.
Red light therapy promotes healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating collagen production. This can help in reducing pain and accelerating recovery in elbow tendinopathies.
Shockwave therapy (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, ESWT) involves using acoustic waves to stimulate healing in the affected area.
ESWT reduces pain and promotes tissue repair by enhancing blood flow and stimulating cellular regeneration in the tendons.
Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the body to address hormonal imbalances.
While not a primary treatment for tendinopathies, bioidentical hormone therapy may help if hormonal imbalances are contributing to inflammation and pain. Addressing underlying hormonal issues could support overall healing.
Sleep studies assess sleep disorders that might affect overall health, including inflammation and pain management.
Poor sleep can exacerbate pain and delay healing. Identifying and treating sleep disorders can improve pain management and recovery outcomes for tendinopathies.
Inflammation therapy includes strategies to reduce chronic inflammation through dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments.
Reducing systemic inflammation through diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes can help manage pain and promote healing in tendons affected by tendinopathy.
Each therapy plays a unique role in managing and treating elbow tendinopathies, offering comprehensive strategies for addressing these common conditions.
