Elbow Pain

Alleviating Elbow Pain with Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat

The elbow joint consists of the end of the humerus in the upper arm and the ends of the ulna and radius in the forearm. It facilitates the bending and straightening of the arm as well as rotation of the forearm.

Muscles and joints of the elbow can often be sources of pain. In addition to these, several elbow conditions can benefit from physical therapy intervention.

Tennis Elbow: Also known as lateral epicondylitis, this common overuse problem presents as pain on the outside of the elbow. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can aid in the treatment of tennis elbow by promoting muscle relaxation, reducing inflammation, and improving blood circulation in the affected area, thereby alleviating pain and facilitating healing.

Golfer’s Elbow: Also known as medial epicondylitis, this condition involves pain on the inside of the elbow. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can assist in managing golfer’s elbow by promoting muscle relaxation, reducing inflammation, and providing soothing heat therapy, thereby relieving discomfort and promoting recovery.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: This condition occurs when the ulnar nerve gets compressed or irritated at the inside of the elbow. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can help in managing cubital tunnel syndrome by promoting muscle relaxation, reducing nerve compression, and improving blood flow, thereby alleviating pain and numbness in the elbow, forearm, and hand.

Biceps Tear: A tear of the distal biceps typically requires surgical repair followed by physical therapy. Dr. Rife’s Infrared Injury Mat can assist in the postoperative rehabilitation process by promoting muscle relaxation, reducing inflammation, and facilitating tissue healing, thereby aiding in the restoration of function and mobility in the affected arm.

Elbow Injury and Pain Program
The Elbow Injury and Pain Program utilizes the Muscle Injury frequency group because elbow injuries frequently involve the surrounding muscles and tendons, which are essential for proper joint function and movement. Common conditions such as tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) stem from overuse and strain on these soft tissues. By focusing on the Muscle Injury frequency group, the program enhances recovery by promoting increased circulation to the affected area, alleviating inflammation, and facilitating muscle relaxation and flexibility. This targeted treatment approach effectively supports the healing process, helping individuals regain strength and mobility in the elbow joint.

Use Elbow Injury and Pain [Program #3] Secondary Option [Program #1]
This program leverages the Muscle Injury frequency group to target muscles and tendons critical for elbow function, focusing on overuse injuries like tennis and golfer's elbow. Enhanced circulation, reduced inflammation, and improved flexibility accelerate recovery and support joint function.
