Why Tennis Elbow Keeps Coming Back
Despite the name, most people with tennis elbow have never played tennis. It's common in carpenters, mechanics, painters, office workers, gardeners, and anyone whose day involves repetitive gripping and lifting.
Over time, that strain causes small tears and wear in the tendon that attaches your forearm muscles to the outside of your elbow. It's more a worn-out tendon than an inflamed one, which is why ice, ibuprofen, and rest only take the edge off.
Cortisone shots can quiet the pain for a while, but they don't repair the tendon, and studies have linked them to more relapses later. Shockwave therapy works the other way: it helps the tendon heal so the pain doesn't keep returning.
Does This Sound Familiar?
- Pain on the outside of your elbow when you grip, lift, or shake hands
- Picking up a coffee cup or a gallon of milk hurts
- Your grip feels weak, or you've started dropping things
- Rest and a brace help, but the pain comes right back
- A cortisone shot worked for a few weeks, then wore off
If a few of these sound like you, shockwave therapy may be a good fit, especially if your elbow has been hurting for more than a couple of months.
Why Shockwave Therapy for Tennis Elbow?
Shockwave therapy is one of the most-studied treatments for chronic tennis elbow. It uses focused acoustic waves to restart the healing process in a tendon that has stalled, with no needles, incisions, or medication.
Restores Blood Flow
Tendons have a poor blood supply, which is why tennis elbow heals so slowly. Shockwaves stimulate new blood vessel growth, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the damaged tendon.
Rebuilds the Tendon
Acoustic waves activate your body's repair process, prompting the tendon to lay down new, healthy collagen in place of worn-out tissue.
Relieves Pain
Shockwave therapy calms overactive pain signals in the tendon, so everyday tasks like gripping and lifting stop hurting as healing progresses.
Tennis Elbow Treatment in Portland, Oregon
Multnomah Medical Clinic has treated chronic tendon pain with shockwave therapy since 2019. From our clinic in Happy Valley, we see patients from Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Gresham, Clackamas, and across Oregon and Southwest Washington.
We treat both tennis elbow (outer elbow pain) and golfer's elbow (inner elbow pain). Every plan starts with an exam to confirm what's causing your pain, since elbow pain can also come from a pinched nerve or arthritis, and to make sure shockwave therapy is the right fit.

Scott H
"Multnomah Medical has helped to heal a very painful left shoulder after surgery that I was suffering with for 17 years. After the first treatment I began to feel better by the next day. Now I am going to have a painful right hip treated along with my left knee. For the first time ever at age 63 I am starting to feel young again as my pain dissipates each day! I am excited about my future without pain as I've known it for so many years. This has been a miracle for me and that is priceless! Thank you Multnomah Medical for the help to live a better, more emotionally available life for me and my wife as a result of your treatment for my joint pain."
