How it works
Reduces peritendinous inflammation and neural sensitisation at the lateral epicondyle. Short-term pain relief facilitates return to activity but does not address the underlying tendinopathy.
Multiple RCTs show injection superior to wait-and-see at 6 weeks but inferior to physiotherapy at 12+ months, with higher recurrence rates. Use judiciously â limit to 1â2 injections. Must be combined with loading programme.
