• Osteopathic manipulation techniques

• Acupuncture

• Soft tissue and muscle stretching

• Stretching exercises

• Advice on protecting the tendon from overuse and stress

• Help to reduce the inflammation

• Massage

• Gentle release techniques

• Strapping & Support to aid repair of the tendon

• It is usually caused by overuse of the extensor muscles, and repeated movement of the wrist and forearm such is hammering or painting.
• The same problem can happen on the inside of the elbow and is called golfers elbow.

Acupuncture and or Osteopathic treatment may be directed to the tendon itself and/or forearm muscles which can be tight.

• The neck may also need looking at (as with all arm symptoms), as it can be a contributing factor.
