Tennis Elbow Therapy
Tennis Elbow Therapy
A non-surgical path for stubborn elbow pain — without cortisone or downtime.
What is Tennis Elbow Therapy?
Tennis Elbow Therapy at Big Mountain Chiropractic is a non-surgical protocol for lateral elbow pain — whether it came from tennis, fly fishing, framing a house, or hours at a keyboard. Dr. Kanyon Smith combines Sanuwave shockwave therapy, instrument-assisted soft-tissue work, and corrective rehab at the forearm and shoulder to restart tendon repair instead of just numbing the area.

How It Works
Your tennis elbow therapy program, step by step.
01
Elbow-focused exam
Dr. Smith evaluates the elbow, forearm, shoulder, and neck to confirm where the load is actually coming from.
02
Shockwave to the tendon
Sanuwave acoustic-wave therapy is applied over the affected tendon to trigger blood flow and collagen repair.
03
Soft-tissue & joint work
Instrument-assisted soft-tissue therapy and targeted joint care along the forearm and shoulder to take strain off the tendon.
04
Forearm & grip rehab
Specific eccentric loading and grip work so the tendon rebuilds and the same flare doesn't return.
