UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
Which activity brings it on?
Tennis elbow is associated with irritation of tendons on the outer side of the elbow. It may develop gradually and cause pain or reduced grip strength during forearm activity. Elbow symptoms can involve other tissues or nerves as well.
Share whether symptoms affect lifting, golf, tennis, work or everyday tasks. Tell Dr. Veltre where the pain is, how long it has been present and what has changed in your routine.

YOUR CARE AT CLOUD 9
Understand your options.
Choose your next step.
An evaluation helps identify the concern and determine whether SoftWave may fit a selected tendon or soft-tissue problem. Dr. Veltre will discuss your options and whether further assessment is appropriate. A care recommendation is based on your case, rather than the name of a sport.
Ask about suitability, alternatives, cost and the recommendation for future visits. Our team will explain what is included so you can make an informed decision.

QUESTIONS ABOUT TENNIS & GOLFER’S ELBOW
A little more
clarity.
Do I have to play tennis to have tennis elbow?
No. Repeated forearm activities can be associated with symptoms, and some cases have no obvious repetitive trigger.
Can wrist or neck problems feel similar?
Nerve-related symptoms can resemble tendon pain. Describe any tingling, numbness or symptoms beyond the elbow during the evaluation.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the assessment and response. Dr. Veltre will discuss a recommendation and cost; a fixed outcome or visit count is not promised.
