Tennis elbow is the sore spot on the outside of the elbow, where the wrist extensors attach. You do not have to play tennis to get it. Gripping a pan, a tool, or a mouse can keep it angry. Radial and focused shockwave therapy may help that tendon once an exam shows the pain is really coming from the elbow and not from the neck or a nerve in the forearm.
Dr. Denis Chang and Dr. Nico do that exam at 15450 New Barn Rd Suite 105, Miami Lakes, FL 33014. Call 786-931-8333. The $97 new-patient visit is the place to start, not a package of shockwave sessions sold in advance.
Why the neck is checked before the elbow is treated
Pain on the outside of the elbow can be a tendon problem, and it can also be referred from the neck. The exam looks at both. If turning the neck recreates the forearm pain, shockwave on the elbow is not the first step. The arm pain page is the broader write-up. This page is only the shockwave option for lateral elbow pain after that sort of exam.
What a treatment feels like
The applicator is held on the skin over the tender tendon. The sensation is a fast tapping. Skin can redden. The elbow can ache for a couple of days. You can usually drive yourself home. Activity changes matter as much as the session: if the same grip is what irritated the tendon, the plan has to say what to change, or the next week looks like the last one.
Questions
Will shockwave fix tennis elbow in one visit?
No. One visit is an exam, and treatment after that may help. This page does not promise that the elbow pain ends.
Can I book shockwave without being examined?
No. The $97 new-patient visit is an exam first. Shockwave is added only if it fits what the exam finds.
Do you name a shockwave machine on this page?
No. The office describes the care as radial and focused shockwave therapy and does not publish a device brand.
Which phone number is the office?
786-931-8333. That is the only clinic number.
