Tennis Elbow Treatment in Solana Beach
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy — non-surgical, drug-free care.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is one of the most stubborn tendon problems in the body — and one of the conditions SoftWave is best known for fixing. Instead of masking the pain with injections, we restart the tendon's healing process.
- Pain on the outer (lateral) elbow
- Weak grip strength
- Pain shaking hands, lifting a mug, or turning a doorknob
- Sharp pain with backhand strokes, lifting, or typing
- Stiffness after rest
- Repetitive gripping and wrist extension
- Racquet sports, weightlifting, manual labor, and desk work
- Failed cortisone, PRP, or brace-based care
- Chronic tendon degeneration (tendinosis) of the common extensor
How SoftWave Helps Tennis Elbow
SoftWave stimulates neovascularization and stem-cell recruitment in the common extensor tendon — reversing chronic tendinosis at a cellular level rather than just numbing pain. This is widely considered a gold-standard non-surgical option for lateral epicondylitis.
What to Expect
Most patients respond within 4–6 visits. There's no need to fully stop training; we'll coach you on load modification so the tendon can heal.
Frequently Asked Questions
I've already tried cortisone — will SoftWave still work?▾
Often, yes. Research shows cortisone gives short-term relief but worse long-term outcomes for tennis elbow. SoftWave addresses the underlying tendon problem and works well for patients who've failed injections.
Can I keep playing tennis or lifting weights during care?▾
Usually with modifications. We'll outline what to scale back temporarily to maximize healing.
