Elbow Conditions We Treat
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are overuse injuries that heal slowly on their own. SoftWave therapy is designed to change that.
Elbow tendon injuries are famously stubborn. The tendons that anchor your forearm muscles to the elbow have limited blood supply, which is why tennis elbow and golfer's elbow can linger for months even when you rest them.
At The Spine Works we treat elbow tendinopathy primarily with SoftWave therapy. Its acoustic waves are designed to increase local circulation and stimulate the body's repair response right at the tendon attachment, addressing the reason these injuries stall rather than just the pain they cause.
Dr. Farmer also screens the neck and shoulder, because nerve irritation and mechanical problems upstream can contribute to elbow symptoms and slow recovery.

Elbow Conditions We Help With
The two classic elbow overuse injuries, named for sports but earned just as often at a keyboard or on a job site.
Tennis Elbow
Pain on the outer elbow from repetitive gripping and wrist extension. SoftWave targets the inflamed tendon attachment to support natural repair.
Golfer's Elbow
The inner-elbow counterpart, driven by repetitive gripping and wrist flexion. Focused acoustic waves reach tendons that heal slowly on their own.
Elbow FAQ
Absolutely. Most cases come from work, hobbies, and lifting, anything with repetitive gripping. The sport names stuck, but the tendons do not care how you overused them.
Elbow tendons have relatively poor blood supply, so the healing response is weak. That is the specific problem SoftWave therapy is designed to address, by stimulating circulation and repair activity at the attachment point.
It varies with how long the injury has been present and how irritated the tendon is. Dr. Farmer will give you an honest estimate after evaluating your elbow, and reassess as you progress.
