Are You Still Suffering from Tennis Elbow?

Dr. Joe McMahon

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, results from repetitive strain on the elbow. Tennis elbow is a medical condition that can affect anyone regardless of their profession or involvement in sports. It is also known as lateral epicondylitis because of the development of tendonitis of the forearm muscles of the lateral epicondyle. 


The symptoms of tennis elbow can include discomfort and pain on the lateral epicondyle, stiffness, weakness, and difficulty performing simple tasks like gripping and lifting objects. These symptoms can become chronic if left untreated and lead to degenerative changes in the tendons and bones around the elbow joint.

There is a natural way to help relieve tennis elbow

Chiropractic care is an effective and natural and effective way to manage tennis elbow. Chiropractors use a holistic approach to treat the condition, which involves identifying the root cause of the problem and addressing it through non-invasive techniques.

How a Chiropractic Adjustment Helps Lateral Epicondylitis

One of the most common treatments for tennis elbow is spinal manipulation, also known as an adjustment. During an adjustment, gentle pressure is applied to the affected area to improve joint mobility. Proper function of the joint and surrounding muscles is restored by improving mobility. As a result, chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pain and inflammation in the elbow.

Chiropractic care isn't just about adjustments

In addition to spinal manipulation, chiropractors include other techniques such as massage, stretching exercises, deep tissue lasers, and rehabilitation exercises to help alleviate symptoms of tennis elbow. These treatment strategies help to improve blood flow and lower inflammation. In effect, the additional techniques promote healing in the affected area.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Another benefit of chiropractic care for tennis elbow is that it is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment option. Unlike medications and surgery, chiropractic care has few side effects and can integrate with other treatments without adverse interactions.

Acupuncture for chronic pain

Acupuncture is another natural and effective treatment option that can help relieve tennis elbow. This natural therapy involves the insertion of thin needles into the body to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. Acupuncture reduces pain and inflammation in the elbow by releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. In addition to providing pain relief, acupuncture improves range of motion and reduces muscle tension in the elbow. Most patients find acupuncture a relaxing and beneficial treatment option for their tennis elbow.

Conclusion

If you are suffering from tennis elbow, chiropractic care can help. By addressing the root cause of the problem and using non-invasive techniques, chiropractors can help reduce pain and inflammation, increasing the range of motion and promoting healing in tennis elbow. Become a patient at our office to receive the best chiropractic care for your tennis elbow.

How to Treat Chronic Low Back Pain with Integrative Care

By Dr. Mark VanOtterloo, DAOM • 15 Jun, 2022
Chronic low back pain can be both debilitating and difficult to manage. As a consequence, chronic low back sufferers can be forced to take sick leave and even miss out on some of life’s most memorable moments. Unfortunately, we are a society that doesn’t automatically provide opportunities for core strength, movement, and appropriate rest. As an example, our hunter gatherer ancestors moved a lot, they did sit - or squat - and keeping a strong body was just a way of life. While this is the environment that we adapted to, modern life asks us to find unique and new models for keeping our backs healthy and functional. At our office, it is not uncommon for patients to utilize an integrative care system while treating low back pain. As a consequence, we see better outcomes for these patients. But what exactly is an integrative care system. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes integrative care as a coordinated care between conventional and complementary treatments. This might sound vague at first but let’s break it down a bit. Complementary treatments would include treatments like acupuncture , deep tissue laser , or chiropractic adjustments . Conventional care might include rehabilitative exercises, over the counter medications, steroid injections, or surgery. Integrative care ties both sides of these healthcare teams together in a coordinated way. At our office we have chiropractors and acupuncturists working side by side coordinating the complementary care. Equally important, we also routinely work with patients to help build the very best medical teams. As a result, we see better patient outcomes from even the very severe cases. In the end, integrative care is a win-win for everyone involved. However, working with a team of healthcare providers can be expensive. Surprisingly, there are several ways integrative care is more affordable at our office. We have affordable discounted rates for self pay patients or those working with multiple providers in our office. There are also packages available for some of our services to help reduce the cost. Our clinicians are also preferred providers with some of the major health insurance companies. Also, we do accept HSA and FSA cards (and can provide superbills for accurate accounting). If you are considering becoming a patient for chronic low back pain, schedule a new patient appointment today and we will evaluate your case.
