Elbow pain can significantly affect your daily activities, from typing at your desk to lifting objects or even just shaking hands. At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we specialize in treating elbow pain using SoftWave therapy, an innovative, non-invasive technology that stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms. Our approach not only targets the elbow itself but also addresses potential referral pain areas that often contribute to the discomfort and limited mobility associated with elbow issues.
Understanding Elbow Pain and Referral Areas
Elbow pain can arise from various conditions, including tendonitis, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, and general overuse injuries. To effectively treat elbow pain, it's crucial to consider not only the site of pain but also other areas that might refer pain to the elbow. At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we focus on potential referral areas including the tricep, infraspinatus, teres minor, subclavius, and supraspinatus muscles. Addressing these areas helps provide a comprehensive treatment that enhances the effectiveness of the therapy.
SoftWave Therapy: A Holistic Approach to Elbow Pain
SoftWave therapy utilizes shock waves to promote healing and reduce inflammation. Here’s how we integrate this advanced treatment into our protocol for elbow pain:
Mapping the Treatment Area: We start by mapping the elbow and identifying both the primary and referral pain areas. This ensures that our treatment targets all relevant regions, not just the obvious symptoms.
Avoiding Sensitive Areas: Special care is taken to avoid focusing directly on the ulnar nerve, which can lead to discomfort and reduced effectiveness of the treatment. A common practice during sessions is placing a finger in the sulcus (the groove at the elbow where the ulnar nerve is located) to protect this sensitive area while still effectively targeting the surrounding tissues.
Referral Focus: Given the complexity of elbow pain and its potential sources, we also address the associated muscles that might contribute to the condition. This holistic approach ensures that underlying issues are treated, which can prevent the recurrence of pain.
Treatment Protocol for Elbow Pain
Intensity and Session Requirements: The intensity of the treatment usually starts at a moderate level, but adjustments are made based on patient comfort and response. For conditions affecting the ulnar area, which typically show less favorable results, a higher energy setting and more sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal outcomes.
Frequency of Treatment: The typical treatment schedule involves sessions twice a week for the first two weeks, followed by weekly sessions if necessary. This frequency allows for sustained treatment impact, promoting a quicker recovery.
Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain
Pain Reduction: SoftWave therapy is highly effective at reducing pain by decreasing inflammation and enhancing blood flow to the affected area.
Increased Mobility: Patients often experience restored mobility as pain diminishes and tissues heal.
Non-Invasive: This treatment avoids the complications and downtime associated with surgical options.
Quick Sessions: Each session is efficient and concise, usually lasting only about 20 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
