Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 --- Hi Ben! I have had good success in treating " tennis elbow, " by using ultrasound and high volt (DC) electrostimulation simultaneously for 5-8 minutes daily. You should see marked improvement within three treatments. If not, discontinue the treatment. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hi Dan! I tried to post a reply to you yesterday, but not sure if it got sent correctly (admittedly a novice on posting...) In any case, thanks very much for your suggestion! In fact, I saw my sports med doc this morning, shared your info, and he arranged sessions of the treatment you describe at the OT clinic. Had my first one a half hour later - nobody was familiar with using the equipment for tennis elbow, so a learning experience for everyone. I could hardly notice any sensation during the treatment, which was a bit surprising to the aide administering it. Scheduled for 2 more this week, and then will evaluate, as you recommend. May I ask (please feel free to disregard if this is inconvenient) if there might be any further information about this you could share or direct me to, e.g. references, articles or websites? (my physician as well as the sports med/OT dept's are very interested as well). Again, many thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 --- Hi Ben! Sounds like you are receiving microcurrent therapy which may be of beneift. There is a recent study by some of Mel's South African countrymen in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise 34(4):602-607 which indicates the type of treatment Mel was describing as effective in reducing muscle damage post exercise. However I use high-voltage current up to 500 volts in combination with pulsed ultrasonics ( between .7 and 1 watts per square cm.)at 2 MHz. So you should have some involuntary muscle twitch which should be below pain threshold. The combingation of the two agents have a synergistic effect that I have not been able to produce using one or the other separately. A couple of good resources in this area are Clinical Electrotherapy by & Currier which is published by Appleton & Lange and Thermal Agents in Rehabilitation by Michlovitz which is published by FA . Both are 2nd editions. Good luck and keep us informed on your progress!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 --- Hi Ben! Sounds like your now using a machine very similar to mine ( Dynatron ) which has multiple EMS and ultrasonic capability. We generally do daily treatments but every other day may work as well. I would have them turn up the volume of stimulation to where you have very slight discomfort. This will vary with patients but I have some that go up over 100 during the latter stages of treatment. Generally we find the more voltage you can take without discomfort indicates the condition is resolving. We have had very good success with this treatment even in patients that have had severe symptoms for years. Best wishes!

" I gotta tell you, this, uh, treatment, sounds absolutely awful to me. At the very least a therapist should " appear " confident even though they clearly have no idea what's wrong, what they are doing to the patient or what they might expect in response, all of which seem to be the case here. I know, because I've been in this position myself and only my acting ability made it tolerable to the patient. Your patience with this staff is beyond me, but it seems you're grasping at straws here and I can see how that might make it so. Surely there's a PT in Madison with a clue. Barrett L. Dorko, P.T.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Hello, Dan: With the assistance of the veteran " head " OT yesterday, I actually received your protocol for the 1st time: turns out that the newness of the machine (Forte 200 Combo) was confusing for some of the " greener " staff to program correctly. THIS time I experienced the intended result of actual muscle contraction. As I initially understood you to say that the range is " up to 500, " yesterday's treatment was set up to 290 and left there for the duration, an new sensation though not painful (watching the muscles twitch and my fingers sway to music of their own...) Today we kept it at 235. According to your latest post, you have patients " go up over 100 in the latter stages of treatment " - so am I starting out too high with this? My arm feels pretty much the same so far. Again, many thanks for your info, suggestions, and encouragement!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 --- Hi Ben! As long as the stimulation is not painful you can generally raise the voltage until the point of mild discomfort. The settings on the two machines are somewhat different numerically. Give it a few more treatments. If you do not have marked relief after a few more treatments discontinue the treatments. There is not any treatment that works 100% of time for all patients. However, we have had good success with this one. We also do stretching exercises for the wrist extensors and cross frictional massage in conjunction with the aforementioned sound/stim combo. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think I may have done something to it when playing with the kids - we were doing bridge (I was teaching and showing first and a child sat on me (not the 2 year old she does that all the time I'm used to that) and I don't think I was ready for it. I was also showing how she could practice standing on the head without getting her feet off the ground (not something I can do, but she needs to practice headstands for gym and is having problems getting up - anyone have suggestions for this?) Anyway it was right after this play session that I started feeling the mild pain. I hope it goes away soon - not that I can lift right now anyway I seem to have a flu- my muscles are so weak I can barely lift myself. Lol hi wendy - i have no idea if this is the same thing or not, but quite a while ago i hurt my elbow joint during triceps kickbacks with too heavy of a weight. just the right elbow hurt for a long time after that, not the left.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I am experiencing a good deal of elbo pain (olecranon) - particularly sharp point tenderness on both elbos. I cannot roll over in bed nor support myself in any way when they are " acting out " . Swelling is very minimal and gentle massaging of the area helps. I am wondering if this can be PA Induced olecranon bursitis or some form of olecranon ligament capsul condition associated with PA. If anyone else has this sort of pain, I'd be most happy to hear from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
