Shiatsu
Shiatsu therapy has a good success rate in the treatment of tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, using finger pressure on appropriate acupuncture points along with gentle stretching and manipulation to produce an increase in mobility and reduction of pain.
Shiatsu practitioners can work with conditions of both acute and chronic natures.
Allopathic Treatment Options
Resting the affected arm, applying ice packs, and taking painkillers and/or anti-inflammatory drugs. Ultrasound treatment may also help to reduce inflammation. In severe cases, injections of corticosteroids into the joint capsule may be required.
