Do you suffer from elbow pain? Has it been diagnosed as tennis or golf elbow? The standard treatment for tennis elbow is to stop using your arm for three months and take ibuprofen three times a day. For most people that is just not going to happen! Acupuncture offers another solution. Within as few as three treatments we can resolve your tennis elbow and golf elbow – for good! No medications are required and you don’t need to stop physical activity during treatment.
Tennis Elbow – How Does Treatment Work?
How do we get such quick and effective results treating elbow pain? The answer is simple. Acupuncture treats the source of the problem. It is focused, powerful and accurate. For example, tennis elbow is caused by inflammation of the forearm tendons located at the elbow near the lateral epicondyle (the outside bump on your elbow).
The inflammation comes from repeated use of the arm. Inserting hair-thin acupuncture needles along the side of these tendons increases blood circulation to the area. The increased circulation resolves the inflammation and promotes healing. The body responds quickly to this treatment. Within a handful of treatments the inflammation from tendinitis is reduced and the elbow pain reduced.
Golf Elbow and Other Arm Pain
Golf elbow, another common elbow pain, is also tendinitis, but on the other side of the elbow. This is near the medial epicondyle. The treatment strategy is similar to tennis elbow, and the results are equally effective.
We also successfully treat pain in the forearm, biceps and triceps muscles and deltoid. The deltoid is the muscle surrounding the shoulder at the top of the arm. We use different techniques for different pain locations, all with excellent results.
What To Expect
As with all acupuncture treatments, they are safe, relaxing and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. All the needles are sterile, single-use and hair thin.

What our Clients are Saying
My whole arm went numb from my shoulder down to the fingers. It was a burning, numb pain that was terrible. I couldn’t sleep. The doctor told me to take pain meds, which didn’t help. They said I was stressed. My son has been helped at Raleigh Acupuncture so I booked an appointment. They treated my neck to take pressure off the nerves to my arm. After the first treatment my pain went down by half. And after six treatments the pain was gone. I was so relieved and thankful.
I’m a cook and work at a hospital kitchen. I developed terrible pain in my elbow, arm and hand, so bad that I had to take a leave of absence from work. I got 4 acupuncture treatments and my pain was gone. I was able to go back to work. I highly recommend Raleigh Acupuncture for elbow pain.
I developed tennis elbow and suffered for eight months. I was told to take ibuprofen 3 times a day for a month. Well, that didn’t help. After just 3 treatments my elbow pain was completely gone. Why did I wait so long??? Raleigh Acupuncture really did the job.
