Epicondilitis

Whether tennis elbow or golf elbow, laser treatment is applicable with beneficial effects. In the acute stages, laser relieves pain, reduces swelling and activates tissue generation as part of optimising the healing process. With some chronic cases laser therapy is able to restart this healing process to bring to resolution, but in cases where this is not possible it can be used on an ongoing basis to manage inflammation and pain and used in a preventative manner. Recommended treatment for acute cases would involve direct lasering of the affected area plus any associated trigger points every 2 - 3 days for around 3 weeks.
