Has anyone tried "dry needling" for tennis elbow? I am in 4 USTA leagues now and my team is counting on me. I have to do something and ice/ibuprofen is not cutting it anymore.

    Don't know anything about intramuscular stimulation, though I do know that that kind of thing comes and goes in popularity -- which usually means a treatment does not work.
    I have only had tennis elbow once in my life, and not for very long. But, I used a brace. Have you tried a brace? It worked wonders for me. My problem, usually, is that I continue aggravating my injuries because I do not (cannot!) take time off to rest them. The brace protected my injury, while I continued to play. That allowed it to get better. I think I only wore it for a few weeks.
