SoftWave TRT: Transformative Elbow Pain Relief with Dr. David Russ at The Fix Chiropractic

Published April 5th, 2024 by The Fix Chiropractic

Elbow pain, particularly from conditions like tennis elbow and golfer's elbow, can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities and enjoy sports. At The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC, Dr. David Russ utilizes SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) to provide a cutting-edge treatment for these debilitating conditions. This innovative approach not only alleviates pain but also addresses the root causes of elbow injuries, offering long-term relief and improved functionality.

Understanding Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer's Elbow

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

  • Causes: Often arises from repetitive motions of the wrist and arm. Despite its name, it not only affects tennis players but anyone who engages in activities that can strain the muscles around the elbow.
  • Symptoms: Pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, which can extend down the forearm. Difficulty in handling simple tools, turning a doorknob, or shaking hands are common complaints.
  • Anatomy: The pain is centered around the lateral epicondyle, the area where the forearm’s tendons attach to the bony outer portion of the elbow.

Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

  • Causes: Similar to tennis elbow but affects the tendons connected to the inner elbow. It’s often triggered by forceful wrist and finger motions.
  • Symptoms: Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow, sometimes extending along the inner side of the forearm. Strength loss and pain when making a fist or gripping objects can also occur.
  • Anatomy: This condition involves the medial epicondyle, where tendons from the forearm muscles connect to the bony prominence on the inside of the elbow.

SoftWave Therapy: A Superior Treatment Option

SoftWave TRT is an advanced non-invasive therapy that uses shock wave technology to stimulate natural healing processes, making it an ideal treatment for both tennis and golfer’s elbow. Here’s how it benefits patients at The Fix Chiropractic:

  • Accelerated Healing: By promoting increased blood flow and angiogenesis, SoftWave TRT speeds up the natural healing process, allowing for quicker recovery from elbow injuries.
  • Pain Relief: SoftWave technology effectively reduces inflammation and pain at the source by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms.
  • Improved Mobility: Treatment enhances mobility and flexibility, restoring the function of the elbow and forearm.
  • Non-Invasive with No Downtime: Patients can receive treatment without the need for surgery or other invasive procedures and return to daily activities immediately without downtime.

The Science Behind SoftWave TRT

SoftWave TRT leverages the power of shock waves to induce a series of biological responses that promote tissue healing:

  • Stem Cell Activation: Triggers the body’s natural repair cells to target and regenerate the damaged elbow tissues.
  • Modulation of Inflammation: Controls inflammation that contributes to pain and limited mobility.
  • Enhancement of Blood Circulation: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels to improve nutrient and oxygen delivery to the injured area.
