ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR TENNIS ELBOW
TENNIS ELBOW PAIN MANAGEMENT
"Tennis elbow," or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition impacting the outer part of the elbow. Contrary to its name, tennis elbow can affect anyone who frequently engages their forearm muscles, particularly in activities that involve gripping and lifting. This condition is a type of tendinitis, characterized by inflammation of the tendons.
Tennis elbow usually arises from overuse or repetitive strain on the tendons connected to the lateral epicond, which is a bony bump on the outer part of the elbow. This condition can be triggered by various activities, including not just playing tennis, but also gardening painting, typing, and other repetitive gripping and twisting actions.
Acupuncture, a key aspect of traditional Chinese, effectively alleviates pain, including tennis elbow, which results repetitive strain. This ancient technique relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue healing, making it a option for primary or supplementary treatment.
Common symptoms of tennis elbow include:
PAIN AND TENDERNESS ON THE OUTER PART OF THE ELBOW
PAIN THAT WORSENS WITH ACTIVITIES THAT INVOLVE FOREARM MOTION
DIFFICULTY WITH GRIPPING OBJECTS OR SHAKING HANDS
WEAKNESS IN THE FOREARM
Acupuncture serves as an alternative or complementary therapy for alleviating pain associated with tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Although its effectiveness can differ among individuals, many people have reported notable pain relief from acupuncture treatments for this condition.
Acupuncture Treatment by Dr. Annie Yang 杨 of OAHU Acupuncture Clinic in 'Aiea 96701 provides a holistic approach to treating tennis elbow, engaging multiple physiological processes that aid in recovery:
PAIN RELIEF
Acupuncture is effective for pain management, stimulating nerves to release endorphins, the natural painkillers, and lowering pain perception.
REDUCING INFLAMMATION
The insertion of needles promotes circulation to the affected area, which helps in decreasing swelling and inflammation.
ENHANCING MUSCLE & TENDON REPAIR
Acupuncture can boost the body’s healing, aiding the repair of micro-tears inons and muscles that often cause tennis elbow
IMPROVING FLEXIBILITY & FUNCTION
Regular sessions can lead to improvements in flexibility and range of motion, critical for recovering from and preventing further instances of tennis elbow.
INTEGRATIVE TREATMENT ENHANCEMENT
Acupuncture complements other treatments like physical therapy by preparing the body to respond better to physical manipulation and exercise.
Acupuncture's adaptability allows it to be used as both an independent treatment and a supplementary therapy, boosting the effectiveness of traditional treatments for tennis elbow, including physical therapy, medication, and even post-surgical recovery.
BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE FOR TENNIS ELBOW
ACUPUNCTURE specifically targets the tender and painful areas, providing several benefits:
DIRECT PAIN RELIEF
By stimulating these specific tender points, acupuncture can directly alleviate pain through the release of endorphins and increased local blood circulation.
MUSCLE RELAXATION
The needling helps relax the contracted muscle fibers, reducing stiffness and pain.
ENHANCED HEALING
Improved local circulation promotes healing by bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues and facilitating the removal of waste products.
