proven to be questionable at best in managing this painful condition. If your treatment methods have plateau'd, consider coming in to TheraSport for an evaluation! We utilize MDT (or the McKenzie Method) to mechanically assess your symptoms. The application of MDT has proven to be an effective treatment method for lateral epicondylitis.

Unfortunately, common treatment methods, like stretching or massage, have proven to be questionable at best in managing this painful condition. If your treatment methods have plateau'd, consider coming in to TheraSport for an evaluation! We utilize MDT (or the McKenzie Method) to mechanically assess your symptoms. The application of MDT has proven to be an effective treatment method for lateral epicondylitis. In a recent study, MDT showed excellent outcomes. Participants had no pain even one year after their physical therapy ended. (Maccio, Fink, Yarznbowicz, & May, 2016). If your problems are mechanical, they can be resolved in as little as one to two treatments!
