From: Jon Frey: Patient
Subject: Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
The cause of my injury: Returned to golf and due to a fault in my swing, injured the tendon.
Severity: Became severe enough that I could not grip a club. Pain radiated up and down the arm on a constant basis.
Treatment: Dr Quade initiated therapy on a twice per week basis, lasting about twenty minutes each session, followed by an adjustment after each.
What to expect:

This is not a quick fix injury and requires following the program exactly over what for me was about three months.
Do not expect immediate gratification. There will be no real significant improvement following the first few treatments. Gradually, the pain will centralize to just the elbow area, ultimately abating entirely, as long as you maintain the program.

Do's and dont's.

Dont:
Miss therapy sessions
Over-use the arm
Expect it to get better in a week or two

Do:
Ice the arm at least twice a day, and after returning to the sport after you have played (even when healed).
Wear the brace at all times
Start using a small weight to strengthen the tendon when it has improved by about 90%.
I am now playing golf three times a week with no recurrence and attribute it to simply following Dr Quade�s program precisely as he laid it out.
I am confident that you will enjoy the same success, that I have enjoyed and will find the Dr, the staff and the laid back environment attentive and enjoyable.
