Tennis/Golfers Elbow

Tennis and Golfer's elbow are classic repetitive strain injuries. The technical names are lateral epicondylitis and medial epicondylitis, respectively. Tennis elbow affects the muscles and tendons on the back outside area of the elbow, which lifts the wrist and extends the fingers. Golfer's elbow affects the tendons on the front inside of the arm, which flexes the wrist and closes the fingers. While these issues occur in sports, they are also frequently seen in the workplace and associated with large amounts of computer use. These injuries tend to linger, and it is common for it to take 3-6 months to recover.

Treatment for these conditions will generally involve managing the symptoms and exercise therapy. Managing symptoms may include doing things directly to the elbow, like icing, for example, and indirectly, like making changes to your work setup. Exercise therapy generally involves a combination of both strengthening and stretching exercises to help build up your tendons. Most importantly, though, in the treatment process, we want to teach you the skills to confidently manage this condition yourself in case it ever pops up again in the future.

Nick was so attentive to my needs and he structured his schedule to fit mine. My therapy was focused on my strengths and weaknesses; therefore, my recovery time was much shorter than expected. I highly recommend Nevada Physical Therapy for any lingering pain you may be experiencing.

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Came in with an ACL injury. I spent a few weeks working with jonathan. His evidence-based approach and motivational ability was really really inspiring. He helped me get back to normal and then some!

DAKOTA EZELL is at the top of MY list as a highly skilled, intuitive, present professional who values and treats me as a whole person, not just someone to fill a time slot

The best Physical Therapy place I have ever visited. Rare to see an emphasis on finding the best method to improve injury instead of giving everyone the same plan. But the best part about this place is it's approach to well being during and after PT.

I was referred to Brian Fearnley by someone with significant credibility. I consider working with Brian a huge stroke of luck. This specific 'PT' is increasing my recovery potential a hundred fold. Brian knows his stuff. He is well versed in PT. He has athletic history at UNR and is active in our local community. He is clearly in this profession to help people recover and get under their own power.

After two plus years of hip pain, three other physical therapists, quarterly injections and no relief, Crista made the pain go away! If I could give her and this practice 10 stars I'd do it!

As a professional athlete, injuries can make or break a career. Luckily, in my case, I had Nevada Physical Therapy on my side. Not only did they physically help me recover from a meniscus surgery, but they provided the best emotional support you could ask for in such a difficult time.

Phenomenal. I had some brutal injuries that resulted in four surgeries and seriously disrupted my life. There can be no doubt that the quality of life I enjoy today was a direct result of working with Nevada Physical Therapy.

I attended Nevada Physical Therapy for my post surgery physical therapy and have nothing but great things to say. For any of you reading this, this place is by far the best physical therapy place I have ever attended with exceptional staff. I had the pleasure to work with Dakota who is extremely knowledgeable, patient and would go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of.
