Shockwave for tennis elbow
A stubborn lateral elbow — shockwave as an extra, not a replacement for changing how you grip.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Pain on pouring a kettle that has lasted beyond a sensible rest. The tendon is irritable and under-loaded in the useful way.
What we can do in clinic
Grip and wrist strength, mouse set-up, then shockwave if we agree. Steve may look at the neck if the picture is mixed.
Red flags and when to see your GP
A sudden tear or neurological hand symptoms — medical.
