Elbow Pain Relief in Winston-Salem: SoftWave Therapy for Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow at Stoetzel Chiropractic

A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution for Chronic Elbow Pain

Whether you're swinging a tennis racket or gripping a golf club—or simply working at a desk or lifting at the gym—elbow pain can be disruptive and persistent. Two of the most common elbow conditions, Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) and Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis), are both forms of chronic tendinopathy that result from repetitive strain and inflammation of the tendons near the elbow joint.

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team offer a modern, non-invasive approach to elbow pain relief with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This advanced acoustic wave treatment supports true healing of injured tendons and muscles—without drugs, injections, or surgery.

Understanding Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow

Both conditions are caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons, but they affect different sides of the elbow:

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

• Pain is located on the outside of the elbow

• Common in racket sport players, manual laborers, and desk workers

• Caused by repetitive extension of the wrist and fingers

• Often worsens with gripping, lifting, or twisting motions

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

• Pain is located on the inside of the elbow

• Associated with sports like golf, throwing, or weightlifting

• Caused by repetitive flexion of the wrist or forearm rotation

• Pain may radiate down the forearm

Both conditions involve degeneration or micro-tearing of the tendons at their attachment points near the elbow, resulting in inflammation, stiffness, and pain during everyday activities.

How SoftWave Therapy Heals Elbow Pain

SoftWave Therapy uses high-energy, electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into damaged or inflamed tissues, stimulating a biological healing response that targets the root cause of tendon pain—not just the symptoms.

SoftWave is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and widely trusted by orthopedic specialists and sports medicine providers across the country.

Key Benefits for Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow:

• Reduces Pain and Inflammation – Calms irritated tendon tissue by modulating toll-like receptors and inflammatory pathways

• Stimulates Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery – Activates VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) and eNOS, promoting angiogenesis—the growth of new blood vessels

• Activates and Recruits Stem Cells – Signals your body's resident stem cells to migrate to the site of injury for tissue repair

• Promotes Cellular Regeneration – Increases expression of PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) and BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins) to rebuild tendon and ligament structures

• Breaks Up Scar Tissue and Adhesions – Enhances soft tissue mobility and improves the flexibility of chronically tight forearm muscles

These biological mechanisms combine to accelerate the healing of elbow tendons, reduce swelling, and restore mobility and strength in the joint—naturally.

What to Expect with SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain

Many patients begin noticing improvements in:

• Reduced elbow pain during gripping, lifting, or twisting

• Less stiffness after rest or repetitive motion

• Better range of motion and strength

• Decreased need for pain medications, braces, or ice packs

• A faster return to sports, work, and daily activities

SoftWave is typically performed in-office in a series of short sessions. There is no downtime, and treatments are well tolerated by most patients.

A Superior Alternative to Steroid Injections

While cortisone injections may provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the cause of tendon damage and may even weaken tissue with repeated use. SoftWave Therapy offers a regenerative, non-invasive alternative that promotes actual healing—without the risks or side effects of medication or injections.
