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.

Integrated Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis
Shockwave Therapy
Clinical studies have shown that shockwave therapy can effectively reduce pain and improve function in patients with lateral epicondylitis. A study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine reported significant improvements in pain and grip strength following shockwave therapy for tennis elbow.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar utilize advanced shockwave therapy techniques to target the affected tendons, stimulate tissue healing, and alleviate pain associated with lateral epicondylitis.
Chiropractic Care
Research supports the use of chiropractic adjustments for managing lateral epicondylitis. A study published in Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reported favorable outcomes for chiropractic treatment in patients with elbow pain.
Our skilled chiropractors employ gentle, targeted adjustments to realign the elbow joint, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function, providing relief from tennis elbow.
Soft TIssue Mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization techniques, such as massage therapy and myofascial release, can help alleviate muscle tension and promote healing in the affected tendons. A study published in The Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy demonstrated the efficacy of soft tissue mobilization in reducing pain and improving function in patients with lateral epicondylitis.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar offer personalized soft tissue mobilization treatments to address muscle imbalances, reduce scar tissue, and promote tendon healing for individuals with tennis elbow.

Our PRP therapy treatments utilize concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate tendon repair and regeneration, providing long-term relief from tennis elbow.
