Physical therapy is rarely used for epicondylitis unless symptoms are severe, in which case a half-dose cortisone injection may be administered.

“so those I still don't splint them but I have them stretch but more often because they can't use their arm I will go ahead and give them kind of a half dose of cortisone just to cool everything down”

“and uh and usually just an inets by mouth if they're on uh rarely do I use physical therapy for these formally because it's just not much to do but um if the if they're just too painful to even some people wake up in the morning they can't even straighten their elbow out they're so painful they're so spongy and really inflamed so those I still don't splint them but I have them stretch but more often because they can't use their arm I will go ahead and give them kind of a half dose of cortisone just to cool everything down”

“but that one injection cooled it off and it never hurt again”
