Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow

Elbow Pain Making It Hard to Grip, Lift, or Twist? Let’s Fix That.

If you feel sharp or burning pain on the inside or outside of your elbow—especially during gripping, lifting, or twisting motions—you may be dealing with a condition known as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These common forms of elbow tendonitis can be stubborn and frustrating, but there’s good news: you don’t have to rely on rest, ice, or endless rounds of physical therapy. Our Northbrook clinic offers a non-invasive, regenerative treatment that targets the injury at its source.

What Is Elbow Tendonitis?

Understanding Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) and Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Tennis elbow affects the outer part of the elbow (lateral epicondyle), while golfer’s elbow affects the inner part (medial epicondyle). Despite the names, you don’t have to play sports to develop these conditions—repetitive movements from typing, lifting, gripping, or twisting can all lead to inflammation and microtears in the tendons that attach to the elbow.

Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp or burning pain on the inner or outer elbow
  • Pain that worsens with activity or gripping
  • Tenderness when touching the elbow
  • Weak grip strength
  • Pain that radiates down the forearm

Elbow tendonitis can be persistent and interfere with daily tasks like carrying groceries, holding a coffee mug, or shaking hands. Rest and anti-inflammatories often aren’t enough to fully resolve it—especially when the tendon hasn’t properly healed.

Stop Managing Elbow Pain. Start Healing It.

Non-Invasive Regenerative Treatment That Speeds Recovery and Restores Strength

SoftWave Therapy is FDA-cleared and uses unfocused acoustic waves to trigger your body’s natural healing process at a cellular level. For elbow tendonitis, it offers a powerful alternative to injections or surgery.

Here’s how it helps:

  1. Reduces inflammation in the tendon attachment at the elbow
  2. Stimulates cellular regeneration and collagen remodeling
  3. Improves blood flow to tissues with poor vascular supply (like tendons)
  4. Breaks up micro-adhesions that cause stiffness and pain
  5. Activates stem cells to accelerate long-term tendon healing

Most patients notice reduced pain and improved range of motion after just a few sessions. Whether you’ve been dealing with elbow pain for weeks or years, SoftWave can help you get back to doing the things you love—with strength and ease.
