Elbow Pain Treatment in Davis, CA

What causes elbow pain?

Elbow pain can come from a lot of different sources—repetitive motion, overuse, poor mechanics, or even nerve tension in the neck and shoulder. Common culprits include:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

  • Tendinitis or tendinosis

  • Referred pain from the neck, shoulder, or wrist

  • Nerve entrapment (like radial or ulnar nerve issues)

Whether it came on suddenly or built up over time, elbow pain usually means something’s not moving right—and your body’s asking for support.

How does shockwave therapy help?

Shockwave therapy is one of the most effective tools we use for elbow pain—especially when it comes to stubborn tendon issues. It uses high-energy sound waves to:

  • Break up scar tissue

  • Stimulate healing in damaged tendons

  • Boost blood flow to the area

  • Reduce pain and inflammation without drugs or injections

It’s especially helpful if your pain has been around for weeks or months and just isn’t improving with rest, stretching, or other conservative care.

Do you combine shockwave with other treatments?

Absolutely. While shockwave is powerful on its own, we get the best results when we combine it with:

  • Targeted adjustments to the elbow, wrist, shoulder, or spine to restore proper movement

  • Cupping therapy to relieve muscular tension and improve circulation

  • Scraping (IASTM) to address fascial restrictions

  • Flexion-distraction or decompression if nerve tension is contributing to the pain

  • Movement support to rebuild strength and prevent flare-ups

Every case is a little different, so we tailor your care to what your body needs most.

Is shockwave therapy safe?

Yes—and it’s backed by solid research. Most people find it to be a quick, tolerable treatment (some describe it as a bit intense, but totally manageable), and there’s no downtime afterward. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and often a game-changer for chronic elbow pain.

How long does it take to work?

Many people start noticing relief after 1 session, with the best results typically showing up after 3-5 treatments, depending on the severity and how long it’s been going on. We’ll track your progress as we go and adjust the plan if needed.

If elbow pain is holding you back, shockwave therapy and chiropractic care might be exactly what your body needs. We’ll get to the root of it and help you get back to lifting, swinging, typing—whatever you love to do.
