Elbow Pain Relief with SoftWave Therapy: Treating Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow at Disc Centers of America – Cleveland

Published August 2nd, 2024 by Disc Centers Of America Cleveland

Elbow pain can be a frustrating and limiting condition, especially for those who are active or rely on their arms for daily tasks. Two common types of elbow pain, Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow, can make activities such as lifting, gripping, or even writing difficult. For those suffering from these conditions, finding effective, non-invasive treatment is key to restoring function and reducing pain.

At Disc Centers of America – Cleveland, Dr. Roger Huang, DC, and his expert team are offering a breakthrough solution for elbow pain using SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This advanced, non-invasive therapy promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and offers lasting relief from the pain of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.

What is Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow?

Both Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow are forms of tendinitis, but they affect different parts of the elbow and result from different types of repetitive strain.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

This condition involves inflammation of the tendons on the outer side of the elbow, usually caused by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm. Despite its name, tennis elbow doesn’t only affect athletes; anyone who performs repetitive arm movements, such as carpenters, painters, or even office workers, can develop this condition.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow and is caused by repetitive wrist flexion or gripping activities. Like tennis elbow, it isn’t limited to athletes and can affect anyone whose job or hobbies involve repetitive use of the hands and arms.

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow

While the location of the pain differs, both conditions share common symptoms, including:

  • Pain and tenderness: Tennis elbow causes pain on the outer part of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner side. The pain may radiate down the forearm.
  • Weakness: You may notice weakness in your grip strength, making it difficult to hold or lift objects.
  • Stiffness: Stiffness in the elbow joint or forearm can make everyday movements painful and challenging.
  • Pain with certain movements: Pain typically worsens with repetitive motions like gripping, lifting, or twisting the arm.

SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain Relief

SoftWave Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves traveling at over 3,000 miles per hour to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. For patients with tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, SoftWave Therapy offers a highly effective solution to reduce pain, promote tissue repair, and prevent further injury.

How Does SoftWave Therapy Help with Elbow Pain?

SoftWave Therapy works by delivering acoustic waves to the site of pain, activating a series of biological responses that aid in healing. Here’s how SoftWave Therapy provides relief from elbow pain:

  • Reducing Inflammation: SoftWave Therapy helps to modulate inflammation, reducing swelling and pain in the affected tendons and surrounding tissues.
  • Stimulating Tissue Repair and Regeneration: SoftWave Therapy activates resident stem cells, which are essential for tissue repair and regeneration. This helps restore strength and function to the elbow.
  • Improving Blood Flow: SoftWave Therapy promotes angiogenesis, improving circulation to the injured tendons and accelerating the healing process.
  • Breaking Down Scar Tissue: SoftWave Therapy helps break down scar tissue that may have formed as a result of repetitive strain or previous injuries, promoting flexibility and reducing stiffness in the elbow joint.

The combination of these biological responses leads to long-term relief from pain and promotes healing at the cellular level.

Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow: How SoftWave Therapy Targets Each Condition

While the causes and locations of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow differ, the treatment approach with SoftWave Therapy is equally effective for both conditions. The therapy can be precisely targeted to the area of pain and inflammation, allowing the waves to penetrate deep into the tissues and promote healing exactly where it’s needed most.

  • For tennis elbow, SoftWave Therapy focuses on the lateral tendons of the elbow, promoting healing of the inflamed tendons on the outside of the arm.
  • For golfer’s elbow, SoftWave Therapy targets the medial tendons, helping to reduce inflammation and repair the tendons on the inner side of the elbow.

In both cases, SoftWave Therapy reduces pain, restores mobility, and helps prevent the condition from becoming chronic.

Combining SoftWave Therapy and Chiropractic Care for Elbow Pain Relief

At Disc Centers of America – Cleveland, Dr. Roger combines SoftWave Therapy with chiropractic care to provide comprehensive treatment for elbow pain. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore alignment and function to the joints of the arm and shoulder, ensuring that the body is functioning optimally as it heals.

For patients suffering from tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, this combination of therapies offers a holistic, non-invasive solution that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes of the condition.

Why Choose SoftWave Therapy for Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow?

SoftWave Therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment option for elbow pain, offering several advantages over traditional treatments like surgery, injections, or medications:

  • Non-Invasive: There’s no need for surgery, needles, or medications—SoftWave Therapy is completely non-invasive.
  • Quick Recovery: Patients can return to their normal activities much more quickly than with surgery or invasive treatments.
