StemWave® Tennis Elbow / Golfers Elbow

Non-invasive StemWave therapy to support tendon healing and pain reduction.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a common cause of pain on the outside of the elbow. It can make gripping, lifting, typing, and daily activity uncomfortable. Symptoms often develop gradually due to repetitive strain, work demands, or overuse.

At Valley Physical Medicine, we evaluate tennis elbow using a conservative, function-focused approach. Treatment recommendations are individualized and may include extremity-focused chiropractic care, rehabilitation strategies, and adjunctive options when clinically appropriate.


StemWave for Tennis Elbow
For select cases of tennis elbow, StemWave therapy may be considered as an adjunctive option. StemWave is a non-invasive acoustic wave technology used to support healing and pain reduction for select musculoskeletal conditions.

Some patients choose StemWave when symptoms are persistent, when pain interferes with work or training, or when they want to support tendon recovery alongside conservative care. Individual outcomes vary and recommendations are based on clinical presentation and response.

What to Expect
A typical StemWave visit includes:

  • Review of symptoms and activity limitations
  • Targeted application to the affected tendon and surrounding tissues
  • A conservative care plan based on response over time
  • Home recommendations and activity modifications to support recovery

Recommended Next Step
Because elbow pain can have multiple contributing factors, we recommend a focused evaluation to confirm the involved tissues and determine whether StemWave is appropriate for your case.
