Patient's question:
Hello, do you have Chinese medicine treatments for tennis elbow? I recently went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told I have tennis elbow. I don't really understand what it is, but I've heard it's quite serious. Now I'm in a lot of pain and suffering. I want to be treated with Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine, feeling that it can address the root cause.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Tennis elbow can cause recurrent local aseptic inflammation, accompanied by elbow joint pain, discomfort during movement, and gradually worsening symptoms such as pain, leading to muscle atrophy. This condition can be treated using traditional Chinese medicine methods, including herbs that promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation, as well as therapies like acupuncture, acupoint injection, and topical ointment administration. It is important to avoid aggravating the condition by lifting heavy objects or increasing other stimuli.
