Dr. John mcshane, Sports Medicine Physician in Villanova, PA discusses his pioneering treatment for tennis elbow known as needling. Excel Physical Therapy and Fitness is featured providing physical therapy after the needling process.
For about 2 months I have had tennis elbow. I’m wanting to know what people have tried & tested, & what actually helped them to overcome the pain. I’m thinking of trying accupuncture…has this worked for anyone or is tennis elbow something that just comes& goes with time? I’m only 30-is it strange to get this at this age?
Here is the situation: I have pain when I play piano, also sometimes when I don’t. Sometimes I get pain from doing absolutely nothing stressful to my arms. It often seems that when it happens for no reason I am sitting down, although resting my arms in my lap, usually they don’t hurt when I am standing up. The pain is locating on both L and R forearms, the underside upper half by the elbow, but not quite to the elbow. The exact location of the pain is hard to pinpoint. Sometimes it is shoots through for a few seconds, sometimes a dull ache for a few hours.
I’ve tried the following treatments with no relief whatsoever: Chiropractics, icing, rest, active release therapy, meds, stretching, exercise, accupuncture, and etc.
It’s not a pinched nerved, carpel tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tendinosis, thoracic outlet syndrome, MS, tennis elbow, or focal dystonia. Anybody have any ideas? Don’t say something just to get points please, thanks a lot!
