Much of the treatment is like for any over-use type syndrome. First you need to stop the offending activity that caused it in the first place. Next you need to use Ice 3 x day or after activities. Next pain relieving gels and creams 3 x day may help..such as biofreeze or orthogel. You need to wear a tennis elbow strap (the ones w an air pillow o rthe like are the best). Some find that sleeping in a carpal tunnel type night-time wrist splint also helps. If you can take OTC Advil or equivalent per label this will help. If not better after 4-6 wks of this treatment then you may benefit from a cortisone injection. There is no real cure since it is caused by useage. Some have tennis elbow off and on for years depending on activity level. About 1-3% end up needing surgery.

Is therapy helping or hurting Americans?

Some people need it and gain from it; others need it and hide behind it. Still others fear the self-disclosure that it requires. These are often the ones who state that it is harmful. Overall, good therapy from competent therapists helps more than it hurts.
