SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain Relief in Calgary at Natural Way Chiropractic: Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow

Elbow pain can be more than just a nuisance—it can interfere with everything from lifting and gripping to typing, working, or enjoying sports and exercise. Whether your elbow pain is from repetitive strain, overuse, or inflammation, you may be dealing with one of the two most common conditions: tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis).

At Natural Way Chiropractic, Dr. Kale Matovich offers a powerful, non-invasive solution: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This advanced regenerative therapy helps patients in Calgary find real relief from elbow pain—without surgery, injections, or medications.

Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow: What’s the Difference?

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis elbow affects the outer part of the elbow where the forearm extensor tendons attach. It is commonly caused by repetitive wrist extension or gripping activities, even among people who have never played tennis. It often develops in:

• Office workers

• Mechanics

• Plumbers

• Weightlifters

• Racquet sport players

Symptoms include:

• Pain or burning on the outside of the elbow

• Weak grip strength

• Discomfort with lifting or twisting motions

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow impacts the inner part of the elbow, where the forearm flexor tendons connect. It is commonly caused by repetitive wrist flexion or forearm rotation and is often seen in:

• Golfers

• Throwing athletes

• Manual laborers

• Rock climbers

Symptoms include:

• Pain or tenderness on the inner elbow

• Stiffness and weakness in the wrist or hand

• Discomfort during gripping or lifting

Both conditions are tendinopathies involving microtears, inflammation, and degeneration of tendon tissue—making them ideal candidates for SoftWave Therapy.

How SoftWave Therapy Heals Elbow Pain

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, delivered through a broad focused energy shockwave, to target damaged tissues and stimulate regeneration.

This advanced therapy initiates a cascade of biological effects that promote healing at the source of pain:

• Modulation of inflammation through toll-like receptor regulation

• VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) release to promote new blood vessel formation and improve circulation

• eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) activation to support nitric oxide production and vascular repair

• Angiogenesis and neovascularization for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery

• PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) activation to support tissue repair at the cellular level

• Stimulation and migration of resident stem cells to regenerate damaged tendon tissue

These mechanisms help reduce pain, promote healing of microtears, restore tendon elasticity, and improve function—all without the risks or downtime of injections or surgery.

Why Choose SoftWave for Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow?

Many patients with elbow pain are offered treatments such as:

• Rest and bracing

• NSAIDs or steroid injections

• Physical therapy

• Surgery (in chronic or severe cases)

However, these approaches often provide only temporary relief or come with undesirable side effects. In contrast, SoftWave Therapy targets the root cause of pain, promoting long-term recovery and helping patients return to work, sports, and everyday activities—faster and more effectively.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for elbow conditions include:

• Non-invasive, in-office treatment with no downtime

• Long-lasting reduction in pain and inflammation

• Increased tendon and tissue strength

• Improved grip strength and range of motion

• Enhanced healing of acute and chronic tendon injuries
