Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow causes pain on the outside of the elbow and is linked to repetitive use of the forearm.
It is not only a tennis problem. Lifting a coffee cup, typing, or turning a doorknob can bring it on.

How High-Pressure Cryotherapy (HPC) may help
High-Pressure Cryotherapy (HPC) uses high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO₂) to rapidly cool the skin over a specific treatment area. Many patients with outer-elbow pain report significant relief after an initial round of 2 to 5 sessions, and HPC may help with pain and inflammation so everyday gripping and lifting feel easier. How much depends on the underlying condition, so results vary. It does not change the habits that irritated the tendon, but it treats the sore area and may help many people manage inflammation and pain.
Every treatment begins with a free consultation. Typical treatment takes about 3–6 minutes per area. HPC is not a substitute for medical care and does not replace a diagnosis.
A drug-free, needle-free option
If you would rather not use injections for elbow pain, HPC is a needle-free, drug-free option to ask about.
No drugs. No needles. No incisions. No downtime. And we only treat if we think we can help.
Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of any treatment.
