For acute or even chronic pain of the elbow, many experience significant improvement after 6 to 8 acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture promotes healing. Therefore, there is a reduction of inflammation and pain. Continued visits ensure resolution of the problem.
Acupuncture is highly effective for various types of elbow pains: lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), and cubital tunnel syndrome. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments, the fibrous bands that bind bones together at a joint. Typically, the surrounding blood vessels are also injured, resulting in bruising. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon in which the muscle fibers tear as a result of overstretching.
