Shockwave Therapy for Tennis Elbow | San Diego, California
Shockwave therapy for tennis elbow is becoming the gold standard for conservative treatment of tennis elbow. Tennis Elbow is a painful repetitive strain injury affecting the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. So when the forearm muscles become overused (tennis or typing at work), they become very tight and strained. This results in an excessive pull at the common extensor tendon which attaches to the bone. Over time the constant pulling and strain in these tissues results in pain at the tendon to bone attachment site.
Our clinic specializes in treatment for tennis elbow. In the past, we have primarily used Active Release technique and/or Graston technique for tennis elbow. We are now offering shockwave therapy for various sports injuries and are seeing amazing results!
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy uses high energy sound waves at the injured tendon to create a healing process. The sound waves in shockwave therapy irritate the injured area at a cellular level. This causes the body to release growth factors resulting in new blood vessel formation, collagen synthesis, and the release of dormant stem cells at the injured site. The combination of these cellular processes, result in healing of the damaged tissue and decrease pain signals.
In most cases, 4-6 treatments are required at 1 visit per week. After the final dose of shockwave therapy, you wait an additional 4-6 weeks. This allows those cellular processes to continue working and improving the condition. After the 4-6 week after treatment effect, the condition is re-evaluated to see if more treatment is necessary. Most conditions show significant improvement between 4-6 visits. Shockwave treatment is fast and efficient, often taking less than 10 minutes for a therapeutic dose.
