Is your elbow constantly hurting and you don't know the reason?
The cause of elbow pain may be a syndrome called "Tennis Elbow."
At the Top Ichilov clinic, every inquiry is taken seriously, and the leading specialists in Israel will help you deal with any medical problem.
Where and how to treat Tennis Elbow?
There is a possibility that Tennis Elbow will resolve on its own without medical intervention; however, this does not always happen, and the person suffering from this syndrome cannot know if there is another, more serious cause for the elbow pain. Therefore, in the case of prolonged pain, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
Since Tennis Elbow or another condition related to bones, muscles, and tendons can develop into a serious problem, it is better to consult real specialists who will thoroughly investigate the causes of the pain. Some of the best orthopedic surgeons in the world work in Israel, where experienced doctors equipped with all necessary equipment are ready to assist anyone in need of their help.
Why is it better to treat Tennis Elbow at the Top Ichilov clinic?
At the Top Ichilov clinic, the following treatment methods for Tennis Elbow are used:
- Applying ice to the area where pain or noticeable swelling is felt – this is an effective remedy for almost any inflammation.
- Applying a splint
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- In more serious cases, injection of cortisone – a strong anti-inflammatory agent – into the area of the tear is recommended.
- Recently, a more advanced treatment method has been used for Tennis Elbow at the Top Ichilov clinic — shockwave therapy (SWT, ECSWT), typically used for breaking kidney stones. This therapy stimulates blood circulation in the area of injury and thus promotes faster healing.
- After partial or complete healing, physiotherapy is practiced to strengthen muscles and prevent similar tears in the future, as well as to stimulate further healing of the injury.
- If all the aforementioned measures do not yield the desired results, surgical intervention is applied. Its goal is to remove the inflamed tissue, which will restore normal blood circulation in the area of the tear. Highly qualified surgeons at Top Ichilov perform this straightforward operation excellently, without any consequences or complications.
It is also important to remember: the first thing that someone suffering from such a syndrome needs to do is to stop any activity that contributes to the pain. Without this, no other remedies will help.
