Treatment Options for Tennis Elbow Pain

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, can turn your favorite activities into a painful ordeal. Whether you're an avid tennis player or enjoy everyday tasks like gardening and typing, this condition can rob you of the ability to do the things you love without severe discomfort. Markson Chiropractic & Medical in Plantation, FL, offers several effective treatment options that can relieve tennis elbow pain and help you get back to doing what you love. 

Treatment Options for Tennis Elbow Pain

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care can play a pivotal role in alleviating tennis elbow pain. Chiropractors can help realign joints and relieve discomfort in the surrounding tissues, which may contribute to discomfort in the elbow.

Specific adjustments and manipulations can help restore proper function to the elbow. This not only reduces inflammation but also promotes healing by improving circulation.

Additionally, chiropractors often recommend tailored exercise regimens to strengthen the forearm muscles. These exercises can enhance flexibility and support long-term recovery while minimizing your risk of future injuries like tennis elbow. 

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine offers a promising approach to alleviating tennis elbow pain. This innovative treatment focuses on naturally healing damaged tissues rather than merely masking symptoms.

One popular method offered at Markson Chiropractic & Medical is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this solution directly into the affected area. The growth factors in PRP can stimulate natural healing processes, helping you naturally heal faster from tennis elbow.

Another option is stem cell therapy, which utilizes your body’s stem cells to promote repair and regeneration of injured tissues. These treatments are minimally invasive and can lead to significant improvements over time.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can be a game-changer if you have tennis elbow pain. This hands-on treatment focuses on manipulating the muscles and soft tissues around the elbow, promoting relaxation and reducing tension.

A skilled massage therapist will target specific areas of discomfort. Techniques like deep tissue or trigger point therapy can effectively relieve tightness in the forearm muscles. By increasing blood flow to the affected area, healing is accelerated.

Regular sessions not only alleviate pain but also improve flexibility and range of motion. Many patients find that combining massage with other treatments like chiropractic and regenerative medicine enhances tennis elbow pain relief.
