Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, Anyone?

     Although tennis elbow may sound harmless, it can be debilitating. Technically known as lateral epicondylitis, it occurs when the ligaments surrounding the joint become inflamed, and the tissue deteriorates. 
Usually caused by long periods of daily, repeated, twisting motions of the forearm, such as those made while playing tennis, it’s triggered by any number of activities, besides sports. In fact, it’s a common workplace injury that can make even simple things, such as shaking hands, turning doorknobs, or opening jars, excruciating.

At Sound Medical Technologies, we can alleviate the agony with Extracorporeal Shock Wave
Therapy (ESWT), wherein we target the affected areas with tiny shock waves. This starts the healing process, which will continue for several weeks, until the pain disappears.
So, instead of suffering, come in and see us. We’d love to serve you.
