Conditions Treated
Tennis Elbow
This condition is marked by the presence of pain on the outside of the elbow when gripping or lifting any item, such as a
carton of milk, or even shaking hands.
Treatment Plan
Acute: When the injury is acute (it just happened), it is easier to treat. Treatment consists of reducing swelling through electrical stimulation, then fitting the patient with a sports brace, and prescribing a regimen of exercise and muscular re-education.
Chronic: In the case of an ongoing chronic aggravation (more than 2 months), the treatment is more difficult, more extensive, and if left untreated, may result in surgery.
About Elbows, Wrist, and Hand Pain
Injuries to the elbow, wrist, and hand areas commonly occur as a result of poor posture, physical injury, or repetitive physical strain. They can be rehabilitated with a combination of spinal mechanic exercises, relief from the aggravating activity, and braces and splints designed to alleviate pressure from affected areas.
