Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a painful condition that affects the tendons in your elbow, making everyday tasks challenging. If you’re struggling with this condition, you may have tried various treatments with limited success. At MG Osteopathy, we offer a powerful combination of Shockwave Therapy and Osteopathy to help you find relief and regain function in your elbow.
Understanding Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
Lateral epicondylitis occurs when the tendons that attach to the outer part of your elbow become inflamed, typically due to repetitive motion or overuse. This condition is not limited to tennis players—any activity that involves repetitive wrist and arm motions can lead to tennis elbow. Symptoms include pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, weakness in the forearm, and difficulty in performing simple tasks like gripping objects or shaking hands.
Shockwave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Solution
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic waves to target and heal damaged tissues. When applied to the elbow, Shockwave Therapy can offer significant benefits for those suffering from lateral epicondylitis:
- Pain Reduction: The acoustic waves disrupt pain signals and stimulate the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms, providing relief from chronic discomfort.
- Tissue Repair: Shockwave Therapy promotes increased blood circulation and stimulates collagen production, which is essential for repairing damaged tendons.
- Improved Function: By addressing the root cause of the pain and inflammation, Shockwave Therapy can help restore strength and function to the affected elbow.
The Added Benefits of Combining Shockwave Therapy with Osteopathy
While Shockwave Therapy is highly effective on it’s own, combining it with Osteopathy at MG Osteopathy enhances the treatment results. Osteopathy is a hands-on manual therapy that focuses on improving the function of the musculoskeletal system by addressing imbalances, restrictions, and misalignments.
When combined with Shockwave Therapy, osteopathy can:
- Correct Underlying Issues: Osteopathy identifies and corrects imbalances in the body that may contribute to the development or persistence of lateral epicondylitis.
- Enhance Shockwave Results: By improving the alignment and mobility of the elbow and surrounding structures, osteopathy allows for better penetration and effectiveness of the shockwaves.
- Support Long-Term Healing: Osteopathic techniques not only treat the immediate symptoms but also work to prevent recurrence by improving overall joint and muscle function.
