Elbow pain, released along the chain
When the elbow aches and the wrist and fingers weaken, we find the cause and ease it with shockwave, injections or manual therapy.
What we check first
We check tenderness around the elbow and wrist and grip strength.
Inside or outside
Inner and outer elbow pain have different causes, so we tell them apart first.
Down to wrist and fingers
We ease discomfort in the wrist and fingers, not just the elbow.
One treatment that fits
From the repeated motion and painful spot we choose shockwave, injection or manual therapy.
Elbow pain worth a visit
All the golf and swimming has left my elbow aching.
Tendon strain from golf or swimming, eased so you can play again.
The inside of my elbow keeps twinging and I can't ignore it.
We trace inner elbow pain from repeated wrist and finger use and help it improve.
Lifting something palm-up makes the pain flare up.
We find why pain worsens with gripping and lifting, and propose treatment that breaks the cycle.
Treatments we consider
We choose among shockwave, prolo or collagen injections and manual therapy.
Storz focused shockwave
A Storz device delivers shockwaves to the painful area of the elbow.
Prolo & collagen injection
This treatment is injected at the base of tendons that receive little blood supply.
Line-of-force manual therapy · FBT
We release the line of muscle pull that tightens when you use your wrist.
