What is Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow?

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

A painful condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (outer part of the elbow).

Damage is the consequence of an overuse injury, or repetitive activity, which creates small tears in the tendon.

This occurs where the tendon inserts into the surface of the bone (or periosteum) as it attaches to the lateral epicondyle in the elbow joint.

Activities at home like DIY or gardening can precipitate an issue, as grip strength is required to operate most tools

The resulting pain can become obvious even when undertaking the simplest of tasks such as turning a door handle or opening a jar.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow is a condition that causes pain on the inside of your elbow.

This is where your flexor tendons for your wrist attach to a bony bump called a medial epicondyle on the inside of your elbow.

This is the tendon responsible for bending and locking your wrist in a forward or flexed position.

This is an overuse injury and a repetitive activity will lead to small tears in the tendon as it inserts into periosteum (or surface) of the bone on the medial epicondyle on the inside of your elbow.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Buxton Osteopathy Clinic invested in new revolutionary Shockwave Therapy in 2017 at both clinics. We have made this decision because there is a growing body of good quality clinical evidence that underpins this new exciting technology.

This is consistent with our mandate to offer our patients the best possible treatment outcomes using modalities supported by best clinical evidence.

Shockwave Therapy is the most advanced non-surgical and non-invasive treatment available for a wide range of stubborn conditions that are difficult to treat using a conventional treatment approach. Shockwave Therapy will preclude the need for steroid injections and invasive surgeries and enable rapid relief from your pain.

How does Shockwave Therapy work?

Compressed air accelerates a projectile up to 80 to 90 kph within a guiding tube that strikes a metal applicator placed on the patient’s skin. The kinetic energy is converted into a radial shock wave. The projectile generates stress waves in the applicator that transmit pressure waves into tissue to a depth of 4 to 5 cm.

This new revolutionary technology passes shockwaves through the skin to the injured part of your body. These high-speed shockwaves are generated by compressed air and are applied using a handheld applicator.

Shockwave Therapy works by increasing blood flow to the injured area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing and decreasing local factors which can cause pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Shockwave Therapy Hurt?

Most patients experience mild discomfort during treatment, but it is generally well tolerated. The initial discomfort typically fades as the area becomes desensitised as it is being treated. We will adjust the intensity of stimulus depending on your comfort level, and can gradually ramp it up to minimise discomfort.

Shockwave Therapy purposefully creates an inflammatory response in injured soft tissue, so you may also experience mild discomfort following treatment. Patients should not apply ice or take anti-inflammatories after Shockwave treatment, as this inflammatory healing response shouldn’t be reduced. 

Shockwave Therapy is an effective tool for a wide range of stubborn soft tissue conditions such as chronic tendon problems (or tendinopathies) and bony conditions. These are often difficult to treat using conventional approaches.

Here are some examples of conditions where Shockwave Therapy has effectively treated and restored normal function:

  • Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)

  • Shoulder pain, e.g. calcific lesions and tendon related symptoms of the rotator cuff and bony spurs

  • Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)

  • Medial epicondylitis (golfer‘s elbow)

  • Patellar tendinitis (jumper‘s knee)

  • Tibial stress syndrome (shin pain)

  • Achilles tendinitis

  • Hip pain

  • Heel pain and heel spurs

  • Chronic neck dysfunction

Shockwave Therapy is one of the most widely researched rehabilitation modalities, with increasing numbers of scientific studies added each year. The majority of research validates the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave, and shows successful treatment rates of up to 90%!

After only 3 or 4 treatments with Shockwave Therapy, most patients report a significant reduction of pain and regaining of normal function.

Shockwave Therapy is so effective it is now recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE is an independent body set up in 1999 in order to provide the best evidence-based guidance and advice based on research and evidence about which treatments are most effective.

There are now Nice Guidelines on Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (click on the links below to view the guidelines):

In addition, here are further research papers on the effectiveness of Shockwave Therapy:

  • Non-Invasive Treatment: Shockwave Therapy requires no incisions or anaesthesia, reducing the risks associated with surgical interventions.
  • Effective Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction after just a few sessions.
  • Stimulated Healing: The therapy promotes natural healing processes, encouraging tissue repair and regeneration.
During the procedure, a handheld probe is positioned over the base of your heel or arch of the foot. The probe delivers high-energy acoustic sound waves that penetrate the skin, creating a sensation of pressure and vibration around the affected area. The intensity of the treatment is gradually increased as the area becomes desensitized, ensuring your comfort throughout the session.
Shockwave Therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have not responded adequately to conventional treatments such as physiotherapy, orthotics, or rest. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and determine if this therapy is appropriate for you.

Yes, shockwave therapy can be effectively combined with other treatments to enhance recovery from tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Integrating shockwave therapy with complementary therapies can provide a more comprehensive approach to pain relief and functional improvement. Here are some therapies commonly combined with shockwave treatment:

1. Physical Therapy and Exercise

Incorporating specific exercises, such as eccentric training and tissue-specific stretching, alongside shockwave therapy has shown to improve outcomes for tennis elbow patients. This combination helps in strengthening the affected muscles and promoting tissue healing.

2. Manual Therapy

Combining shockwave therapy with manual techniques, like deep friction massage, can further alleviate pain and enhance mobility in the elbow joint. This integrated approach addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of tennis elbow.

3. Orthotic Devices

Using braces or wrist extensor orthoses in conjunction with shockwave therapy can help reduce strain on the affected tendons, providing support during daily activities and facilitating the healing process.

The exact number of sessions may vary based on the severity and complexity of the condition. Some individuals report pain relief after just one session, but full benefits are typically achieved through the complete course of therapy. It’s important to note that individual responses to shockwave therapy can vary. A healthcare professional will assess your specific condition and develop a personalized treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions, to optimize your recovery.
Shockwave Therapy is generally considered a safe and non-invasive treatment for various musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave Therapy may not be suitable for everyone. It is generally contraindicated for individuals who are pregnant, have bleeding disorders, are taking anticoagulant medications, have infections at the treatment site, or have certain neurological conditions.
Each Shockwave treatment session typically lasts between 15-20 minutes, but will be combined with Osteopathy and hands-on treatment so in total session time is @30 minutes.
