At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support people experiencing tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and radiohumeral bursitis. These conditions commonly cause elbow pain, tenderness, weakness, and reduced grip strength, often linked to repetitive strain, overuse, or prolonged manual work.
From a TCM perspective, elbow pain is usually associated with Qi and blood stagnation, local inflammation, and meridian blockage along the Large Intestine and Triple Energizer pathways that pass through the elbow. By improving circulation and relieving soft-tissue tension, TCM helps ease discomfort and restore functional movement.
