Chiropractic Treatment for Tennis Elbow
Chiropractic treatment is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating tennis elbow. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques to manipulate the joints and soft tissues of the body, intending to reduce pain and restore proper function to the affected area. During a chiropractic session for tennis elbow, the chiropractor will perform a thorough examination to assess the extent of your injury and determine the best course of treatment. This may include:
- Manual Adjustments
- Soft Tissue Therapy
- Ultrasound
- Laser Therapy
- Electrical Stimulation
Manual adjustments involve the chiropractor applying gentle pressure to the affected joint to realign and reduce inflammation. Soft tissue therapy may include massage, stretching, or other techniques to help relax and heal the muscles and tendons in the affected area. In addition to these techniques, your chiropractor may also recommend exercises and stretches to help improve your range of motion and strengthen your arm and wrist muscles. They may also advise on proper ergonomics and techniques for playing sports or performing other activities to prevent further injury.
