Proven, Cost-Effective Physical Therapy for Tennis Elbow
Expert Treatment at Align Physical Therapy and Sports Therapy
Stubborn elbow pain shouldn’t keep you from the activities you love. Whether you’re lifting groceries, typing away at a desk, working with tools, or playing a weekend sport, nagging outer elbow pain can make everyday tasks a struggle.
If you’ve been considering your treatment options, there is a clear winner: Recent research proves that physical therapy not only outperforms steroid injections for tennis elbow, but it also delivers unbeatable overall value and long-term healing.
What is Tennis Elbow?
Despite the name, only 10% of people with tennis elbow actually play tennis. Scientifically known as lateral epicondylitis, it is an overuse injury caused by repetitive wrist extension and gripping activities. It is most common in adults over the age of 40, affecting anyone whose daily routine places repeated stress on the forearm tendons.
Why Choose Physical Therapy Over Steroid Injections?
While steroid injections have long been a common recommendation, they often only offer a short-term mask for pain while carrying risks of tissue damage and high cumulative costs.
At Align Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, our hands-on, active approach targets the root cause of your pain. Choosing physical therapy helps you:
- Increase grip strength and flexibility to restore full arm function.
- Reduce chances of complications and risks associated with invasive procedures like surgery and injections.
- Improve local blood flow and minimize the risk of recurrence, keeping you healthy for the long run.
- Avoid over-reliance on oral or topical over-the-counter medications.
- Reduce healing time and pain.
The Smart Choice for Your Wallet and Your Well-Being
Research calculating the true economic impact of treating tennis elbow shows staggering results. Choosing physical therapy over steroid injections saves an estimated $10,739—factoring in everything from direct medical costs to the hidden expenses of your time, ongoing pain, and missed life events.
By investing in value-based, clinically proven physical therapy, you protect your health and your hard-earned money.
