Physiotherapy and Tennis Elbow
OrthopaedicsAndTrauma.com asked James Turgis, a physiotherapist specialising in home visit physiotherapy in London in the UK about tennis elbow. He said: "Steriod Injection for tennis elbow is the best option for rapid help with this condition in the first six weeks and physiotherapy provides a longer term gain over a year".
James told OrthopaedicsandTrauma.com "We know that patients do not like injections but when a Sports Surgeon, with experience in the technique, gives cortisone is a painless procedure and it works well . The outcome is better than lithotripsy and less expensive but more invasive".
