We normally advise regular methods of treatment including strapping, stretching, icing and pain avoidance as well as strengtheing exercises as seen here https://ccsussex.co.uk/tennis-elbow-exercises-brighton-chiropractor/

Most of the ligament and tendon issues listed above can become chronic because of the poor blood flow into those areas. This inhibits tissue regeneration and healing. Using Shockwave can speed up the bodies healing process and get you back into your activity asap
Shockwave therapy is often recomended now even by the NHS https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tennis-elbow/treatment/ for these types of condidtions when they have become chronic
