No results posted yet for this study

Summary

No consensus has yet been built on the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE) due to the lack of evidence. Although conflicting results are present, radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has increasingly been used in the treatment of tendinopathy

Conditions
