Elbow Pain Relief in Chandler, AZ with SoftWave Therapy: Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow

Published June 2nd, 2025 by Bridge Wellness Center

Persistent elbow pain can turn everyday tasks—like lifting a bag, gripping a pen, or swinging a racket—into painful challenges. Whether it’s caused by overuse, repetitive stress, or injury, conditions like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow can significantly limit your quality of life.

At Bridge Wellness Center in Chandler, AZ, Dr. Matt McCutcheon and his team are helping patients overcome chronic elbow pain with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology—a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and repair soft tissue damage at the source.

Understanding the Difference: Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow

While both conditions cause elbow pain due to repetitive use, they affect different areas and involve different tendons.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis elbow involves inflammation or microtears in the extensor tendons on the outside of the elbow. It commonly results from repetitive wrist extension or gripping motions and is often seen in athletes, manual laborers, and computer users.

Symptoms include:

  • Pain on the outer part of the elbow

  • Pain that worsens with lifting, gripping, or twisting

  • Weakness in the forearm or hand

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow affects the flexor tendons on the inside of the elbow. It’s often caused by repetitive wrist flexion, gripping, or forearm rotation. It can occur in athletes, mechanics, and those who perform repetitive hand or arm movements.

Symptoms include:

  • Pain on the inner side of the elbow

  • Discomfort during gripping or wrist flexion

  • Stiffness or weakness in the wrist and fingers

SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Solution for Elbow Pain

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a revolutionary treatment that uses electrohydraulic, broad-focused acoustic waves to stimulate healing and repair at the cellular level. These acoustic waves travel at over 3,000 mph, penetrating deep into tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues without damaging the skin or surrounding structures.

SoftWave offers significant advantages over traditional treatments like injections or medications, which often provide only temporary symptom relief.

How SoftWave Works for Elbow Conditions

SoftWave Therapy helps heal the source of elbow pain by triggering a regenerative healing cascade that includes:

  • Modulation of inflammation – Calms overactive immune responses and reduces tissue irritation

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) – Stimulates new blood vessel growth to improve oxygen and nutrient delivery

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) – Enhances microcirculation for improved tissue repair

  • Stem cell activation and migration – Promotes the regeneration of damaged tendons and connective tissues

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) – Supports DNA repair and cellular regeneration

  • Toll-like receptor modulation – Reduces chronic pain signaling and nerve hypersensitivity

  • BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins) – Aids in the repair of connective tissues and bone-tendon junctions

By addressing both the pain and the underlying damage, SoftWave helps restore function and prevent long-term degeneration or repeat injuries.

Why Patients Choose SoftWave Therapy for Elbow Pain

Patients with tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow choose SoftWave because it is:

  • Non-invasive and drug-free

  • No needles, no injections, and no downtime

  • Clinically proven to stimulate tissue healing and pain relief

  • Effective for both acute injuries and chronic, long-standing pain

  • A long-term solution—not just a temporary fix

Most patients begin experiencing relief within just a few sessions, with continued improvements in strength, mobility, and pain levels as the healing process continues.
