Tennis/Golfer's Elbow

Often called Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow due to its prevalence in these sports, Lateral epicondylitis is a common overuse injury in activities involving repetitive use of the forearm. In this condition, the tendons that attach to the bone on the lateral (outside) edge of the elbow begin to degenerate, weakening the elbow joint and placing a high amount of stress on the area. 

Lateral epicondylitis is characterized by sharp, strong pain over the outer edge of the elbow. This pain is intensified by any activities like gripping or lifting, which require the tendon for normal functioning. As the condition worsens, the entire elbow area may become tender, with pain radiating downwards into the hand. 

​In the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a study was published demonstrating the effectiveness of shockwave therapy for pain relief and return of function in patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis. In the study, a 75% improvement in pain was reported after 12 months of treatment, with a 100% recovery of grip strength. 

Your therapist at Granville Physio will use a combination of manual therapy, exercise, bracing, and shockwave therapy to alleviate your pain, and return you to the sports or activities you enjoy sooner! ​
