Elbow / Wrist Pain

Dr. Dhesi has been on the forefront of treatments for elbow and wrist pain. From tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) to golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis), the treatments are cutting edge and highly effective. The same treatments that Dr. Dhesi used with professional and amateur tennis and golf players are available to you in his clinic.

If in-office care does not bring about significant change in a reasonable amount of time, follow up treatment may be employed. This could include extra corporeal shockwave therapy. From all the cases seen by Dr. Dhesi, only about 5-10% of his patients ever qualify for this treatment, but the results after one treatment usually result in 70% improvement Plus, there is no down time after treatment.

Though we have been talking about care for the athletes, these same treatment options will be employed to patients who have started to feel elbow pain from working on the laptop/desktop during work or from some other repetitive type of injury.


Trigger Points

Dr. Dhesi has extensively studied trigger points since the early 1990s. He has reviewed and trained in multiple techniques to address acute and chronic trigger points using various physical medicine methods. Dr. Dhesi may use his hands to treat the trigger points or employ a combination of physical medicine and pain management devices like the Acuscope, Deep Tissue Laser, or Vibracussor. Treatment can be effective and help reduce trigger points substantially prior to leaving from your first visit, taking only seconds per trigger point.


Plantar Fasciitis / Heal Pain

In office care includes comprehensive care in all our approaches. Our techniques include soft tissue mobilization with and without instruments and deep tissue laser. The Vibracussor may also be used to introduce controlled movement in the tissue. The Arthostim device can be used along with the manual mobilization technique to address foot and ankle movement. The knee and the low back will be checked for joint dysfunctions that can affect biomechanics. The calf muscles will be examined for tightness or trigger points which tighten tendons connected to the foot. We will provide exercises and stretches that include using a foam roller for the legs and other stretches for the foot, calf and ankle. We will also utilize kinesiology taping for the foot to support it in between visits.

If these procedures prove to be limited in their effectiveness or don't get us to he desired outcome, we will introduce a treatment with an Extra Corporeal Shockwave Therapy device. This will usually result in a substantial change in the tissue. Afterwards, you will undergo rehabilitation with a physical therapist or in office.


Whiplash and related injuries

Injuries sustained in auto crashes, including whiplash and their related disorders, require specialized care by trained physicians. Whiplash injuries after a motor vehicle crash cause tissue damage. The physician needs to understand the mechanisms of injury and the subtle signs and symptoms, and then test and evaluate the injured patient to address all their issues. Not addressing all these issues can result in future joint and muscle dysfunction.
