Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition of the outside of the elbow. Though it can be caused by playing tennis, there is often no obvious cause. Repetitive use of the elbow may trigger a tennis elbow.
My clinical experience suggests that the majority of people suffering from tennis elbow can be helped by acupuncture - occasionally dramatically.
There is some research evidence to support my impression.1
I find that between 6 and 10 treatments, given once or twice weekly, provides maximum benefit.
