Hello everyone it’s Dr. Donahue, and in this post, we are going to go over the types of modalities that we typically offer for elbow conditions.
Treating Elbow Pain:
 Although pain presentation around the elbow may be similar from person to person, Not everybody will respond similarly to care. This is why we have a collection of tools when providing treatment. We can utilize myofascial release through cupping techniques and through active release techniques (ART) to target the muscles directly.
Laser and Shockwave Therapy Combined:
Recent research has also shown the benefits of pairing shockwave therapy and laser therapy together to disrupt the tissues of the elbow flexors and extensors. The treatment usually starts with shockwave therapy and then introduces the benefits of laser therapy to promote healing, such as reducing swelling, inflammation, and pain. Additional methods may include chiropractic adjustments and dry needling in and around the areas, paired with rehabilitative exercises to take load off the muscles of the elbow. So if you've been experiencing elbow pain, give us a call or schedule online to book your appointment today.
