What Is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition caused by irritation and inflammation of the tendons that attach to the outside of the elbow.
Despite its name, tennis elbow does not only affect athletes. It frequently occurs in golfers, tradesmen, mechanics, office workers, and anyone who performs repetitive gripping, lifting, or twisting movements.
Over time, repetitive stress can lead to microscopic damage within the tendon, causing pain, tenderness, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday activities. For many people, tennis elbow becomes a chronic condition that interferes with hobbies, work, exercise, and quality of life.
Common Symptoms
Pain on the outside of the elbow, tenderness when touching the elbow, pain when gripping objects, weak grip strength, and pain when lifting, twisting, or carrying items.
Activities That May Hurt
Golf, tennis, pickleball, weightlifting, manual labor, repetitive work tasks, opening jars, shaking hands, or carrying groceries.
Current Treatments Compared With Low-Dose X-Rays
Most patients begin with conservative care. These treatments can help, but they do not work for everyone. Low-Dose X-Rays may offer another option for patients who continue to experience elbow pain despite medications, therapy, bracing, or injections.
Medications & Therapy
Anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification, physical therapy, stretching, and bracing may help reduce symptoms, but some patients continue to experience persistent pain despite months of conservative treatment.
Injections
Corticosteroid or PRP injections may help some patients, but they involve needles, repeat appointments, and may not provide lasting relief for every patient with chronic tennis elbow pain.
Low-Dose X-Rays
Low-Dose X-Rays use very small amounts of targeted radiation to help calm inflammation associated with chronic tendon pain. Treatments are brief, non-invasive, painless, and require no anesthesia or recovery time.
A Different Approach to Elbow Pain
Low-Dose X-Rays are designed to fit between conservative care and surgery. For patients who are still hurting but want to avoid more injections, ongoing medications, or invasive procedures, this treatment may provide another path forward.
The goal is to help reduce inflammation in the painful area so patients may experience improved comfort, improved function, and a better ability to return to golf, exercise, work, hobbies, and everyday activities.
