“my elbow hurts every time I grip something”
8 quick questions about your own week, one at a time, and you get a score out of 100 and one next step. It takes about a minute. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere.
The part nobody explained
Tendon pain that has lasted months is usually a tissue change rather than inflammation, which is why anti-inflammatories and rest stop producing results.
You use your hands all day, so the tendon never gets a genuine period of unloading no matter how much you rest the sport.
Straps and braces redistribute load and do not treat the tendon, so they buy function without changing the underlying tissue.
We look before we touch
Hands-on exam of the elbow, the grip, and the shoulder and neck above it, since elbow tendon pain often sits on top of a neck or shoulder pattern. You are told what we find before anything is proposed.
The first visit is the exam and the digital X-ray. Nothing is adjusted on it, because adjusting before looking is guessing. What the care itself costs is given to you in writing at the report of findings, before you decide.
What we would use on it
Which of these applies to your case comes out of the exam rather than off this page.
Two phases, and you are told which one you are in
Whatever is driving your golfer's elbow and tennis elbow, the shape of care here is the same and you are told which phase you are in the whole way through.
- Phase one
Correct what is driving it
Scoped before it starts. You are told how many visits it is built around, what is being measured, and when the re-exam happens, and you get that in writing with the price at the report of findings.
- The exam and the digital X-ray come first, so the plan answers to findings.
- A scheduled re-exam measures it rather than asking how your week went.
- When this phase is finished, you are told that it is finished.
- Phase two
Preserve what has been corrected
A body keeps loading, so a correction is something you keep rather than something you finish. What maintaining it looks like is explained with the reasons on the table, and it is a decision you make knowing what it is for.
- Discussed once the corrective phase is measured, not assumed at the start.
- You know what you are paying for and why, at every point.
- Nobody here will tell you a result holds forever on its own.
What patients said afterwards

Questions people ask about golfer's elbow and tennis elbow
I have rested it for months. Why would this be different?
Because rest and treatment are different things. A tendon that has changed structurally is not waiting for time, it is waiting for a stimulus. That is specifically what StemWave and Class IV Laser are aimed at.
Do I have to stop playing or lifting?
That gets decided with you at the report of findings based on what the exam shows, not as a blanket rule. Being told to stop everything indefinitely is rarely the useful answer and it is rarely what happens.
Is this covered by insurance?
Not through us, because the practice does not bill insurance. Billing insurance means an insurer decides how many visits you are allowed and what counts as necessary, and it means the number is an estimate until a bill turns up months later. Paying the practice directly keeps that decision between you and your chiropractor, and it is why the plan and its price are put in writing before you agree to anything. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and Care Credit is available.
