ABSTRACT

We researched 3 patients diagnosed as Lateral epicondylitis (Tennis elbow). We consid-ered it as tendinosis including irregular collagen fiber’s pattern. So, acupuncture therapy and musculotendinous releasing manual therapy were used to treat the patients. We meas-ured their pain and functional disorder by visual analogue scale (VAS), Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE), and a dynamometer before and after treatment. As a result, VAS and PRTEE significantly reduced and grasping power was also improved. Therefore, we conclude that the acupuncture therapy with musculotendinous releasing manual ther-apy is an effective way to treat Lateral epicondylitis. But there are limits on this study due to insufficient number of cases, absence of control group and absence of follow-up after last treatment. Further studies will be needed.
