Western medicine has long treated tennis elbow with cortisone shots and the application of ice.
Surprise. Surprise. It turns out that studies now show that cortisone shots are actually detrimental to long term healing. Ice of course would prove to be of no value since tennis elbow is not an inflammatory condition.. I believe that the suggested therapy suggested by Chinese medicine of acupuncture and the application of heat makes much more clinic sense.
