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 Top Ihilov Clinic, we pay close attention to every inquiry, and the leading specialists in Israel will help you deal with any medical problem.
Where and how to treat "Tennis Elbow"?
There is a chance that "Tennis Elbow" will resolve on its own without medical intervention, but this does not always happen. Moreover, those 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 the necessary equipment are ready to help anyone in need of their assistance.
Why is it better to treat "Tennis Elbow" at Top Ihilov Clinic?
At Top Ihilov Clinic, the following treatments 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, an injection of cortisone – a strong anti-inflammatory agent – is recommended in the area of the tear.
- Recently, a more advanced treatment method has been used for "Tennis Elbow" at Top Ihilov Clinic – shockwave therapy (SWT, ECSWT), typically used for breaking up kidney stones. This therapy stimulates blood circulation in the area of injury, thus promoting faster healing.
- After partial or complete healing, physiotherapy is practiced to strengthen the 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. The highly qualified surgeons at Top Ihilov perform this simple operation brilliantly, without any consequences or complications.
It is also important to remember: the first thing to do for someone suffering from such a syndrome is to stop any activity that contributes to the pain. Without this, no other remedies will help.
