1. What is tennis elbow? Why can't it be cured for a long time?

Tennis elbow (medical name: lateral epicondylitis) is a disease of elbow pain caused by repeated strain of forearm extensor muscles, which is common in:

✅ People who repeat wrist/elbow movements for a long time (such as carpenters, chefs, fitness enthusiasts, office white-collar workers)

✅ Sports enthusiasts (such as tennis, badminton, golf players)

✅ People with heavy housework (such as frequent twisting of towels, lifting heavy objects)

Main symptoms:

Pain on the outside of the elbow joint (especially aggravated when clenching fists, extending wrists, and lifting heavy objects)

Pain on pressing (obvious tenderness at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus)

Limited activity (difficulty twisting towels and holding water cups)

Why is traditional treatment limited in effect?

Many patients try medication, physical therapy, and even closed needles, but they are prone to relapse because: ❌ Only relieve pain, not repair damaged tendons ❌ Cannot improve local blood circulation and tissue regeneration

 2. Shock wave therapy: non-surgical tennis elbow treatment plan

Studies have shown that shock wave therapy can significantly improve symptoms for most tennis elbow patients. The pneumatic ballistic pressure wave therapy device uses high-frequency pneumatic pulse sound waves generated by a compressor to form high-energy ballistic shock waves, which are transmitted to the human body through treatment heads of different sizes to produce cavitation and biological effects. This high-energy pressure wave can effectively change the chemical environment of the injured area, release chemicals that inhibit pain, destroy the cell membrane of pain receptors, and inhibit the generation and transmission of pain signals. At the same time, it can also promote the production of endorphins, reduce the sensitivity of the affected area to pain, and achieve long-term treatment effects. 

3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

Q1: Does shock wave therapy hurt? 

There is a slight soreness during treatment, which most patients can tolerate without anesthesia. And high-end products have precise air pressure control and precise pulse frequency control, which can achieve better body adaptability.

Q2: Who is suitable for shock wave therapy?

Patients with chronic tennis elbow, those who do not want surgery, those who pursue non-invasive rehabilitation, and patients who require rapid treatment results. .
