Understanding Lateral Epicondylitis:
Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is a common overuse injury that affects the tendons on the outer side of the elbow.
Despite its name, tennis elbow can occur in individuals who engage in repetitive arm movements, not just tennis players.
The condition is characterized by pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, weakness in the forearm, and difficulty with gripping and lifting objects.
Prevalence and Common Causes:
Lateral epicondylitis is a prevalent condition, affecting approximately 1-3% of the population each year.
The most common cause of tennis elbow is repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles, leading to microtears and inflammation in the tendons attached to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
Activities such as tennis, gardening, painting, and repetitive computer use can contribute to the development of tennis elbow.

I highly recommend Balance for all your health and longevity goals. I had damaged muscle from a trauma injury that had not healed in three years and through Shockwave and Balance’s comprehensive treatment approach, healed the damaged region. They are extremely customized in their care and it is always a wonderful overall experience.
I was recommended to Balance medical from a local friend here in Colorado as we are visiting from Costa Rica. It was suggested that it may help to have a session in the hyperbaric chamber to help adjust to the altitude.
The entire experience was educational and professional with both Dr Jesi and her husband Dr Jason explaining the process step by step and not only the benefits of what to expect but how your body functions and why this process would help me to climatize to the altitude.
A great experience and can say it really worked for me I was experiencing a slight headache and just kind of worn out. After the one-hour session I was revitalized and had renewed energy and my headache was gone. I have been hiking and climbing since here in the mountains and feel great.
Thank you very much Dr. Jesi and Dr. Jason for your help and professionalism what a great team!
I recently had Dr Jess treat my plantar fasciitis with shock wave therapy. The results are amazing! I had 4-5 treatments about 2 weeks apart. The results are not immediate, but within a few days I had so much relief and after a few treatments the difference is incredible! SO worth it!
10 years ago I broke my leg in two places and had 14 pins, two plates and bone graphed into my tib/fib/ankle, and was told I would deal with arthritis for the rest of my life. Being extremely active in sports, weight lifting, and with my profession I found that movement helped but was almost counter intuitive. I lost nearly 75% range of motion in the joint and became limited in certain abilities in addition to consistent discomfort. I'm now 4 months out from receiving PRP and cellular therapy from Jason, and i have seen a significant improvement in my ability to not only move the joint with gained ROM, but pain and discomfort is nearly non existent after strenuous activities. I used to wake up and find it hard to take the first few steps, which is no longer an issue. I highly recommend considering this treatment to anyone looking to either gain an advantage on maintaining a active lifestyle or simply live day to day with less pain.

This helps us gain a thorough understanding of your condition, enabling us to create a personalized treatment plan that targets your unique needs and promotes recovery.
Integrated Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis:
Shockwave Therapy:
Studies indicate that shockwave therapy is an effective treatment for alleviating pain and improving function in individuals with lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Research published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine found significant improvements in pain levels and grip strength after shockwave therapy.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar use advanced shockwave therapy techniques to target the affected tendons, stimulate healing, and relieve pain, providing long-term benefits for those suffering from tennis elbow.
Chiropractic Care:
Chiropractic care has been shown to be beneficial in managing lateral epicondylitis. A study in Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics demonstrated positive outcomes for patients with elbow pain following chiropractic adjustments.
Our expert chiropractors apply gentle, precise adjustments to realign the elbow joint, reduce inflammation, and enhance joint mobility, helping patients recover from tennis elbow and regain full function.
Soft TIssue Mobilization:
Soft tissue mobilization methods, including massage therapy and myofascial release, are highly effective in relieving muscle tension and supporting the healing process in the affected tendons. According to a study published in The Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, these techniques improve both pain levels and overall function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
PRP therapy is a promising option for enhancing tissue repair and reducing inflammation in individuals with lateral epicondylitis. A meta-analysis in Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery revealed significant improvements in pain and function after PRP injections for tennis elbow.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP therapy has shown promise in promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation in patients with lateral epicondylitis. A meta-analysis published in Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery reported significant improvements in pain and function following PRP injections for tennis elbow.
Our PRP treatments utilize concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate tendon regeneration, promote healing, and provide lasting relief from tennis elbow.
Stem Cell Injections:
Recent studies suggest that stem cell therapy may offer significant benefits for treating chronic tendon injuries, including lateral epicondylitis. Research published in Journal of Orthopaedic Research highlighted improvements in pain and function following stem cell injections for tennis elbow.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar provide advanced stem cell therapy options designed to support tendon healing, reduce inflammation, and help patients recover from lateral epicondylitis, enabling them to return to their active lifestyles.
