Shot in arm plus physical therapy doesn't help tennis elbow: StudyWeekend sports warriors take note - that pain radiating out of your elbow may be tennis elbow. But don't be so quick to ask your doctor for a cortisone shot. Research has shown cortisone, or corticosteroid shots, can alleviate the pain in the initial weeks, but have little effectiveness in the long run, and do nothing to reduce recurrence rates. Doctors have prescribed physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, in conjunction with the shots, hoping to increase the cortisone's long-term effectiveness, but a new study in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association finds that the physical therapy doesn't aid the cortisone shots at all.It's contrary to what Bill Vicenzino, one of the authors of the study, expected. "I was surprised to find that addition of physiotherapy did not reduce the recurrence or lift the success rate in the long term." "We were also very surprised that the addition of steroid to physiotherapy tends to diminish the effectiveness of the physiotherapy," he said. The study evaluated 165 patients who had pain from tennis elbow for more than six weeks. Patients were divided into four groups - one group given just cortisone shots, another group given placebo shots, a third group receiving both the steroid and the physical therapy, and a final group receiving a placebo shot and physical therapy. The study found that after a year, those who had the cortisone shots had the least successful outcomes and highest rates of recurrence. And the addition of physical therapy made little difference to the shots. However, physical therapy alone seems to provide the best outcome, with just under a 5% recurrence rate after a year. Almost half of all people who play racquet sports like tennis, squash, or racquetball have tennis elbow, but racquet sports aren't the only way to get it. Any sort of activity that requires a lot of twisting or gripping motion, like pulling weeds, using a screwdriver, or using a computer mouse can also inflame the tendon that connects your forearm muscles to your elbow. "The recommendation has been don’t use steroid, use either saline and mechanical treatment, and going back to physical therapy as your first line," he said. But tennis elbow is just difficult to treat, he noted. "Yes, there are a lot of treatment entities, but when you go back and look, the treatment entities aren’t consistent across the boards." soundoff (826 Responses)« Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Next »Leave a Reply to Social Media Marketing Specialist

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
