Treating a tennis elbow with a shock wave is the most effective non-operative technique currently available, and when combined with other methods, it brings clear results. Note, the treatment cannot be combined with steroid injections. If a steroid injection has been performed, the first shock wave treatment is recommended to be performed one month after the injection.
The effects of ESWT (shock wave) are best documented where tissue density changes. For example, where a tendon attaches to a bone (enthesopathies - diseases of the tendons) or the bone attaches to a ligament (desmopathies - diseases of the ligaments). This is why a shock wave is so effective in treating a tennis or golfer's elbow. In addition, the shock wave treatment gives hope to get rid of the pain and eliminates the risk of surgical treatment of this disease, allowing you to return to normal life faster.

„Tennis elbow”, the so-called enthesopathy is a disease of the extensor muscles of the wrist, located at the site of the proximal attachment. Shock wave therapy with the Rosetta ESWT device is an available and effective method of rehabilitation of ailments.
