More Tennis Elbow Injury Facts:

Continually using your elbow while it is injured will cause further damage and result in a slower recovery.


Left untreated, tennis elbow injuries or golfers elbow injuries can be extremely debilitating and lead to life-long complications.


Incomplete healing and re-injury can lead to a build up of scar tissue in the elbow causing further injury. The TShellz Wrap® is a very effective treatment device to aid in scar tissue breakdown of epicondylitis.


To heal as fast as possible:

  • Rest
  • Use a Cold Compress or Ice Pack to reduce pain, swelling.
  • Use TShellz treatments to accelerate the body's natural healing.
  • Avoid pain killers
  • Once swelling is reduced and healing has begun, start stretching the injured joint after warming up with a TShellz Wrap®. (stretching=good, straining=bad)


Tennis Elbow is the most common overuse injury for the elbow joint.

Surgical Treatments for Chronic
Tennis Elbow Pain


tennis elbow pain pattern

Conservative treatments for Tennis Elbow are typically very successful. Only 10% of people suffering from Tennis Elbow will ever need surgery. In fact, most doctors and surgeons will recommend 6 to 12 months of conservative treatment before surgery will even be considered. If constant pain, immobility, and inflammation from your Tennis Elbow is greatly interfering with your quality of life, and you've tried every conservative option available to you - your doctor may present surgery as an option to relieve your pain.

If you are not yet sure if you require surgery, go to our Do I Need Surgery page. This page will be helpful for you in ensuring that you are doing all you can to minimize your chance of requiring surgery.


So You've Tried Conservative Treatments Available & Still Require Elbow Surgery...

Lucky for you, approximately 80 - 90% of Tennis Elbow procedures are successful. Tennis Elbow surgery will focus on 2 main things...

  • Removing damaged tissue in your elbow while repairing your tendon
  • Stimulating your body's natural healing process

By getting rid of weak and damaged tissue built up in your tendon from repeated injury and overuse, you can begin to re-strengthen your elbow to avoid further injury. When conservative treatments fail, surgery may provide pain relief and return elbow function to what you need to get back to your job, your recreational activities, and your life.

Tennis elbow surgery will get rid of damaged tissue so your injury can heal.

While most studies show that complications arising from Tennis Elbow surgery are rare, there are always risks associated with any surgical procedure. The most common risk factors associated specifically with Tennis Elbow surgery include permanent loss of some elbow strength, range, or mobility. During the operation, surrounding blood vessel and nerve damage can occur. However, modern surgical techniques and guidance imaging devices have greatly improved recovery times and successful outcomes for Elbow surgery; a couple decades ago, positive outcomes were much less common.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. It is best to talk to your orthopaedic surgeon before and after surgery to discuss all possible risks and complications.

You should expect some tenderness, pain, and stiffness after the surgery. It's important to remember that during your surgical procedure, your elbow will become re-injured in order to encourage proper healing. These symptoms are common after surgery and will be reduced if you commit to conservative treatments and PT during your rehabilitation.

Open Release Surgery

The most common surgery used to treat Tennis Elbow is Open Release Surgery. There are two different techniques that can be used, Traditional Open Release and Open Release with Drilling; both been successful in treating Tennis Elbow.

Open Surgery for Tennis Elbow

Open Release is performed through a 2.5 - 7 cm incision created in the skin on the outside of the elbow above your epicondyle. This incision exposes the ECRB (exstensor capis radialis brevis ) forearm muscle beneath the skin. Another incision in the muscle gives the surgeon access to the tendon and its attachment to the lateral epicondyle bone. The surgeon will either remove any damaged weakened tissue, or repair tears to the tendon tissue. Your surgeon may be partially or even completely cut your tendon away from the lateral epicondyle. This allows the forearm muscle to relax.

Scar tissue that has built up through repeated injury and overuse is removed through a process called Debridement. During the removal of scar tissue and normal wear and tear, the elbow can become rough. The surgeon will abrade the bone of your elbow. This smoothes out the roughness of your elbow and removes any hardened tissues.

A technique called decortication can be used at this point. With this procedure, several 2 mm holes are drilled into the bone to stimulate blood flow to the area.

Bone and cartilage debris is taken away and sutures are installed using anchors to reattach your tendon to your bone. The surgeon will use dissolving stitches to seal the first cut made in your skin. Your arm will be placed in a splint or cast to keep from moving your elbow until your doctor says you are ready to begin light movements.

Advancements in medical practice can prove some Tennis Elbow surgical techniques are not helpful in treating this painful condition.

A 2001 study published in the British Medical Journal evaluated open and arthroscopic release surgeries. While both were found to be successful in the long term, drilling was no more effective in treating Tennis Elbow than traditional open release surgery. In fact, patients who underwent the drilling procedure were found to have more pain, stiffness, and bleeding of the wound than non-drilling patients during recovery.


Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopy for Tennis Elbow involves creating very small incisions in your skin at and around the epicondyle. These incisions act as entry points for thin tubular instruments to be inserted into your elbow. One of these tools is a small, high powered camera that uses a fiber optic lense to record the inside of your elbow. Fluid is injected into your joint so the camera can give a clearer image and the surgeon has a better view of your elbow during the procedure. The images captured by the lense are sent to a television screen so that the surgeon has a magnified view of the inside of your elbow.

Tennis Elbow Diagnosis Test

The surgeon will inspect your elbow joint and see if there are any other issues, such as arthritis. Once your elbow has been fully checked out, another incision is made, so that tools for removing tissue and tendon repair can access your elbow. Using the guidance of the imaging on the television screen, the surgeon uses a sharp tool to remove inflamed and damaged tissue.

Another tool cuts away part, or all of, the tendon depending on the amount of damage. Once the scar tissue and hardened joint tissues are removed, the epicondyle is smoothed. Anchors are drilled into the bone to help sutures reattach the tendon to the bone. Once this is done, the tools are removed and the incision points are stitched shut. Your arm is splinted to prevent movement.

While both Open Release and Arthroscopic surgeries are 80 - 90% effective, arthroscopic surgeries have the added benefit of:

  • smaller incisions to access the elbow
  • reduced risk of blood vessel or nerve damage
  • greater ability to address co-existent disorders such (lesions, synovitis, plica)

  • diagnostic ability so that the surgeon can see if there are any other injuries (like arthritis) present
  • reduced risk of infection after surgery
  • reduced risk of damage to the ulnar collateral ligament

  • decreased amount of post-surgery recovery time allowing you to return to work and/or athletic training much quicker
Studies have proven that arthroscopy surgery is most beneficial in surgical treatment of Tennis Elbow injuries.

The Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, showed 91 - 98% success rate for full symptom relief of Tennis Elbow after arthroscopic surgery. Since arthroscopy can not only repair known injuries but also identify other conditions, this study concludes that arthroscopic surgery could be more beneficial than other surgical options available for Tennis Elbow.


Percutaneous Tenotomy Surgery

Percutaneous Tenotomy is a new, alternative form of surgery for Tennis Elbow. This procedure was recently introduced in the early 2000's. Studies are still being conducted to verify the effectiveness of percutaneous tenotomy, and all have shown positive results. This procedure does not require an anaesthetic, like in Open and Arthroscopic procedures. The only entry points into your elbow are made via a hypodermic needle.

Percutaneous Tetonomy surgery is a relatively new procedure that relies on breaking up and removing damaged elbow tissue with repeated penetration of a needle.

This procedure uses sonographic images, similar to those used in prenatal care, to view the unborn child of a pregnant mother. These images, created using imaging ultrasound waves, help guide the surgeon, while repeatedly penetrating the joint tissues of the elbow with the tip of the needle. The surgeon can feel when the tissues have become softer. Once hardened tissue has been broken up to allow access to the bone, the surgeon uses the head of the needle to smooth out the epicondyle. Removing damaged tissue without having to cut the tendon is one of the major benefits of percutaneous tenotomy.

The hypodermic needle is removed when the sonogrpahic images show that all of the hardened tissue has been broken up and the epicondyle is smooth. At this point your elbow will be injected with a shot of corticosteroid. This step is under review and future percutaneous surgeries may not require the coticosteoid injection at all. Medical tape is placed over the incisions and there is no need for stitches

Because this procedure does not require an anaesthetic, it can be performed in a clinic or at a doctors office. Directly after the 20 minute surgery is completed, the physician will help you to gently move your arm. Unlike open and arthroscopic surgeries, percutaneous surgery does not require you to wear a splint to keep your arm from moving. In fact without large incisions or sutures, the risk for infection is greatly reduced.

Breaking up tough, dense, fibrous scar tissue can help to relieve symptoms from Tennis Elbow.

According to an article published on December 2nd, 2012 in the online US National Library of Medicine, many individuals found immediate pain relief after the soft tissues were broken up. This is however, still a newer method of surgery, therefore we anticipate many more studies to follow, concerning the overall effectiveness of this procedure.


Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

Having surgery, will require you to spend time rehabilitating your elbow. Depending on the amount of damage to your elbow before surgery, it could take anywhere from one day to several weeks before there is a noticeable reduction in your Tennis Elbow symptoms.

Tennis Elbow Exercises

Each surgical procedure takes between 15-20 minutes to complete. In Open Release and Arthroscopic surgeries you will be put under using general anaesthesia. For all three of the above procedures, numbing medication will be injected into your elbow to temporarily block pain signals. A compression tourniquet or adrenaline injection is used to reduce swelling of the elbow during surgery. After the surgery you will be monitored and most likely released the same day. Out-patient (same day) surgery is common for all Tennis elbow procedures.

Your doctor will recommend the surgical procedure that best fits your situation based on the severity of your Tennis Elbow and their experience with successful techniques. Whichever surgery is chosen, you will have to undergo visits to the PT clinic and conservative treatments after the operation. Your physician should provide you with a rehabilitation program that will begin a few days or weeks after your surgery. Healing time and recovery will depend on the severity of your injury before surgery, the type of surgery performed, your age, and your overall health.

Being proactive is the best way to increase your chances of recovery and minimize the time spent treating your Tennis Elbow. If you keep your elbow immobile for too long or you do not commit to conservative treatments after surgery, your chances of getting back your full range of motion, grip strength, and fast relief from pain, are greatly reduced. Cooling and warming treatments are essential in reducing swelling and stimulating blood flow to your elbow during healing. Speak to your physician about incorporating the Elbow TShellz Wrap® into your post-operative program to optimize rehabilitation and decrease recovery time.

If you require surgery, then you've already spent too much of your life in pain. Maybe you've missed months of work or an entire season playing your favorite sport. You deserve to return to a great quality of life and begin to enjoy an active lifestyle once again. Why spend more time in recovery than you need to?

Using a Cold Compress or Ice Pack and Circulation Boost (via the Elbow TShellz Wrap®) alongside the physical treatments recommended by your physician will help you reduce recovery time and increase your chances of greater rehabilitative success

It is important that you consider most physicians will have already encouraged you to commit to trying conservative treatments before even turning to surgery. Surgery is not a quick fix option. Unless your physician determines you require surgery, conservative treatments using a combination of a Cold Compress or Ice Pack (when there is swelling), a circulation boost device (such as the Elbow TShellz Wrap®) and an exercise/stretching routing (assigned by your doctor or PT) will help you to achieve positive results faster. If you have found the TShellz Wrap® does not aid in your elbow recovery, know that we offer a 60 day full money back return option. This means that we guarantee the Elbow TShellz Wrap® will help you!


Thinking about Tennis Elbow Surgery? We Have Answers that can Help...


Most cases of tennis elbow respond well to conservative treatments, however, surgery will be needed in some cases. Being presented with a recommendation for surgery is certainly a scary thought for most. The Internet provides a wealth of information and details on the surgery itself, but it can be a challenge to find quality information on if you need surgery and what to do to speed recovery after the surgery. This is why we are here!


Surgery in itself is not the end of the journey, it is merely the beginning of a new chapter.



Increased Blood Circulation = Increased Healing Capability


TShellz Wraps® contain a unique Carbon Fiber Energy Pad which is flexible and will shape to conform to your body. This Energy Pad emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe energy over its entire surface. This energy is absorbed by soft tissue in the treatment area, opening blood vessels, resulting in an increase in blood flow. Increased blood circulation is what your body needs to maximize its cabability of healing soft tissue and this is why we recommend the TShellz Wrap®.

elbow tshellz wrap

The Elbow TShellz Wrap® is an FDA Registered Medical Device and is suitable for use in therapeutic clinics and FROM HOME. It is completely safe for people and patients to use for themselves.

The technology found in a TShellz Wrap® has been used for decades in the worlds of professional and amateur sports - a contributing factor as to why athletes seem to recover from injuries so quickly.

Have you ever wondered by an athlete can return to activity after 4 or 5 weeks following an elbow or forearm injury - while your average person takes much longer to return back to normal? The secret isn't really that much of a secret - it involves consistent treatments (meaning multiple times a day) using a treatment like the TShellz Wrap® to stimulate blood flow to the injured tissues. Most athletes have the luxury of using in-house facilities many times per day.

How many us can afford the time and money to visit a clinic multiple times a day? Very few indeed. This is how you can gain some of the advantages that athletes enjoy in their injury recovery - by using a device like the Elbow TShellz Wrap® two or three times a day on a consistent basis.

Consistent Treatments = Consistent And Long Term Improvement


What Else Makes the Elbow TShellz Wrap® So Special?

We believe the TShellz Wrap® to be one of the most effective home treatments to increase localized blood flow to soft tissue in and around the treatment area.

We can promise that you will receive a product that is designed to be safe and does what it is supposed to do... reduce pain (as stated in "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin) temporarily increase length & flexibility of soft tissue (as stated in "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin) and aid your body in recovering from tendon, muscle and other soft tissue injuries via enhanced blood flow.

The unit plugs into a standard wall outlet to get its power. The nice thing about the power supply is that the same unit can be used in North America and overseas as well. It has the capability to operate between 110v and 230v.

The TShellz Wrap® has a special signal controller that can be set for 3 different power levels of application (3=High, 2=Medium, 1=Low). The cord is long enough that you can sit or lie comfortably and watch TV, read or surf the net while you're using it.

Treatments are max 30 minutes in duration and the device can be worn over clothing. This allows you to use the device at work, at home, or really anywhere you have access to an electrical outlet.


Who Should Use the Elbow TShellz Wrap®

We recommend the use of an Elbow TShellz Wrap®:

  • If you have bursitis, tendinitis or other soft tissue damage in your elbow, then the Elbow TShellz Wrap® will provide the all-important function of boosting blood circulation where it is needed most.
  • If you are dealing with soft tissue conditions affecting your range of motion.
  • If you have a chronic elbow soft tissue condition that has lasted for years- this device is intended to kick start the recovery process and help strengthen the surrounding and supporting tissues.
  • If you have tight or shortened muscles that are a high risk of strain- this device is designed to heat tissue - a known and proven way to increase length, elasticity and flexibility of muscles, tendons and ligaments. The TShellz Wrap® is basically a home treatment device to reduce your risk of incurring further soft tissue strain.
  • If you are still working with a strain in the elbow region or mild tear, the TShellz Wrap® will help relax tissue in the area prior to work and after a day at the job.
  • If you are still trying to enjoy your favorite activities such as gardening, tennis, golf, etc - use the TShellz Wrap® prior to activity to help reduce risk of re-injuring or re-aggravating those targeted tissues.
  • If you are suffering from bursitis and want to treat a major source of it (inflammation and damage to tissue surrounding the bursa sac). Through trauma, overuse or degenerative changes, muscle and tendons surrounding the bursa sacs will tighten and constrict. When they do, they place pressure on the bursa, causing it to become irritated. Applying a TShellz Wrap® to the elbow will help relax tissue in the treatment area, taking pressure off the bursa.
  • If you are experiencing atrophy in the elbow and want to reduce the chance of re-injury while stretching - this is a perfect treatment to use before activity, by enhancing blood flow and elongating tissue in the application area.
  • If you have been to a clinic for some form of massage or stretching and your PT or physician has recommended conservative treatments for home.
  • If you are experiencing tightness in your muscle(s) and want to reduce the chance of re-injury while stretching - we recommend the use of a TShellz Wrap® before you stretch.

Use An Elbow TShellz Wrap®:

Elbow TShellz Wrap boost circulation
  • After swelling and inflammation have been reduced with cold compression.
  • Before exercise or workouts to warm up your elbow to prevent re-injury.
  • Before and after tennis elbow surgery, during rehabilitation, to warm up your elbow before PT exercising or stretching.
  • Anytime you feel your elbow has stiffened up, is tight and your mobility is reduced causing you more pain.
  • Anytime you have sore or aching tissue in and around your elbow.
  • Any other situation where you need to increase blood flow to your elbow to relax your soft tissue, relieve pain, prevent re-injury and enhance flexibility of your tissue.

Living with Tennis Elbow is never easy and we can help provide answers about prevention, causes, treatment options, potential stretches/exercise to consider, and ways to manage the condition for the short & long term.

TShellz Wrap® = Enhanced Blood Flow in the Treatment Area

We believe the use of TShellz Wraps® for boosting blood flow to soft tissue in the area of application is one of the most under-utilized home treatment options available on the market today. We have client after client that have tried many options out there and have been amazed at how effective and fast the TShellz Wrap treatment can relieve pain and increase blood flow in soft tissue.

With regular use of the Elbow TShellz Wrap:

  • Your pain will be reduced*.
  • Due to increased blood flow, soft tissue in the treatment area on the arm or leg will be expected to recover at an accelerated rate with reduced potential for re-injury*.
  • Tissue in the treated area should experience a larger range of motion and increased extensibility of collagen tissue* due to the heat effect on soft tissue. This should translate into a reduced rate of re-injury occurrence as soft tissue is known to lengthen and become more flexible when exposed to warm temperature. (*Chapter 9 of "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. (amazon.com link - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin)

Key Points To Keep in Mind When Treating Your Elbow Injury

Make Sure That Complete Healing is Your #1 Goal

wearing the elbow T•Shellz Wrap

We all know that if the injury was healed, the pain would go away but what about the opposite situation? If the pain is gone, does that mean the injury is better? Unfortunately, this is not always true.

Too many people only focus on suppressing pain symptoms while providing less attention to the true healing aspects of the body. Experiencing less pain, while obviously a good short-term goal, never equates to underlying healing. Scar tissue can remain for months after one gets to a point of being relatively pain-free. However, as long the weak and brittle scar tissue remains, you are susceptible to re-injury or re-aggravation. Certain motions or movements can cause the weaker tissue to easily tear - resulting in some reversal of the recovery up until that point.

This is why we recommend for people to continue with their doctor or therapist recommended exercises and to continue with mild treatments of the TShellz Wrap® for a period of time - to better ensure complete healing.

Ongoing treatments to enhance circulation will soothe, relax and help promote a healthy recovery of damaged arm muscles and tendons in the elbow region. Elbow T•Shellz treatments will also allow your soft tissue to extend further due to the deep warming sensation created by enhanced circulation and heat in the treatment area. The more extensible your tissues are, the less likely they are to strain or sprain.

The Elbow TShellz Wrap® is intended to be highly effective medical device for people suffering from bursitis or other soft tissue elbow injuries - such as a tear in your muscle, tendon or other soft tissue, strain, Tendonitis, tendinopathy, tendinosis, impingements, instability, spasms, bursitis, capsulitis, pain associated with trigger points, scar tissue, and arthritis.

A huge number of people who contact us about elbow pain are unsure about the true causes of their discomfort. It is an amazing statistic and really goes to show how important it is to get a proper diagnosis from your physician. To really deal with a injury, you have to know the injury is - so get to the doctor and find out.

Resting Your Elbow Will Help, But Only Temporarily

People tell us all the time, "I was told that if I stay off my feet for a few weeks, my elbow pain will disappear for good."

The truth is, elbow pain is usually a culmination of numerous factors, which often include repetitive stress, high load issues due to excess weight, and/or overcompensation issues resulting from other muscle and soft tissue ailments.

It may take weeks or months for these elbow pain triggers to surface, but when they do, merely resting will not solve the underlying issues. You need to utilize options that actually treat the source of the pain and help reverse the damage that has been done.

Resting has a role to play, but it is only one small factor in a recovery plan.

Identify What is Causing Your Elbow Problem & Fix It
Otherwise, It May Come Back

In order to provide long lasting relief from your elbow pain, you need to identify all the factors that are contributing to it. These factors can include muscle imbalances, back problems, shoulder mobility issues, herniated discs, trauma and tightness to surrounding muscle and soft tissue, etc. The list is certainly significant and it can be frustrating for people who may have no idea where to begin. This is one of many reasons why you should always get to a physician and in some cases, a specialist to identify the source of your problem.

Tennis Elbow Injury Facts:

Tennis Elbow is a common name used for an acute form of tendonitis in the tendon fibers that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow.


Overuse injuries of the elbow are commonly associated with athletes however, overuse injuries are most common in occupational areas.


Symptoms of epicondylitis include pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness. Other symptoms may also include hand numbness or hand weakness.


Only 5% of people diagnosed with Tennis Elbow actually play tennis.


mobile phone Elbow (a.k.a Cubital Tunnel Syndrome) can develop from excessive mobile phone use where the ulna nerve is stretched for a long period of time.

This restricts the blood flow to the elbow and can cause the nerves to become weakened and scarred. If you feel pain or numbness in the hand (in particular the pinky and ring fingers) whilst using a mobile phone, change hands or use a bluetooth.


Elbow injuries can be secondary to an injury elsewhere in the body. The elbow injury may be caused by the body compensating for an injury to the neck, shoulder or wrist.
