Pain with gripping and liftingA clearer look at the problem.
Tennis elbow, or lateral elbow tendinopathy, involves the tendon attachment on the outside of the elbow. Shockwave may be considered when gripping and lifting remain painful and the condition has not settled with activity changes and progressive exercise.
How we approach it
- 01Confirm the pain is coming from the elbow tendon
- 02Check the neck, nerve and joint when symptoms suggest it
- 03Treat the tender tendon attachment and other areas if needed
- 04Add progressive grip and forearm loading
Treatment should match the tissue, the person and the goal.
By identifying the tissues contributing to your elbow pain, we can tailor shockwave and progressive exercise to help make gripping, lifting and daily activity more comfortable.
