Abstract
Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition in the area of the elbow due to
damage of the extensor muscles and tendons of the hand and fingers. These muscles are
located on the outer side of the forearm and are joined with the tendons on the lower outer
part of the forearm. Causes are various but most common are repetitive movements and
overuse of the arm. In this study are included 6 patients. 5 male and 1 female, all with
syndrome of tennis elbow, on age from 43 to 70. All patients were ttreated with fire needle
acupuncture in a clinic for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture in
Skopje, Macedonia by a doctor specialist in acupuncture. Treatments were done on Ashi
points (trigger points) that were found on palpation on the most painful places in the area of
the elbow. Treatments were done indoor on a room temperature. Three patients needed only
1 treatment, one patient 2 treatments, one patient 3 treatments and one patient 6 treatments.
With a very few acupuncture treatments we succeeded to get very fast and positive results,
to improve the condition significantly and reduce the pain and symptoms completely.
