Dry Needling For Tennis Elbow: Who Needs The Needle?
Should you consider a treatment called Dry Needling – If you have a stubborn case of Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?
Allen Willette tackles this topic in this episode of the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast.
So, what the heck IS Dry Needling? It doesn't sound like something you'd want to rush right out and sign up for, under normal circumstances! – Does it?
Of course, when you have a really tough case of Tennis or Golfer's Elbow (and MANY cases do end up being very difficult – almost by definition) you can easily get to the point where you're desperate enough to try some pretty extreme treatments…
So, let's take a look at this one and see if it might be worthwhile.
Unfortunately the term Dry Needling refers to TWO very different techniques used to treat Golfer's and Tennis Elbow.
One version uses Acupuncture Needles to treat highly-irritable, pain-causing spots in muscles, known as a 'Trigger Points.'
And the other uses Hypodermic Needles to treat dysfunctional tendons.
