About the Tennis Elbow Institute The Tennis Elbow Institute is run by Doctors Evan Collins and David Hildreth, two respected orthopedic surgeons who specialize in Hand and Upper Extremity at Baylor College of Medicine. Following their extensive research and studies monitoring the effects of high-energy shockwave therapy on Tennis Elbow, the doctors bring the latest in technology and treatment to Tennis Elbow sufferers. Utilizing high-energy technology, the institute becomes the only center in Houston to offer the OssaTron Treatment among their treatment options - a breakthrough shockwave treatment recently FDA-approved for treating Tennis Elbow and the first non-invasive option for patients not responding to conservative treatments. Their participation in clinical trials and research studies to provide less invasive procedures conducive to busy lifestyles enables them to finally fill a void that has long existed between conservative treatments and invasive surgery.

The Tennis Elbow Institute at the Texas Medical Center raises the level of patient care by using advanced technology and treatment to help Tennis Elbow sufferers. Respected in the field of Orthopedics for their advanced research and study of this condition, doctors Evan D. Collins and David H. Hildreth, orthopedic surgeons specializing in hand and upper extremity at Baylor College of Medicine, have the only center in Houston that offers among their treatment options the first non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure for treating Tennis Elbow.

Also known as lateral epicondylitis, Tennis Elbow is caused when the elbow is overstressed or repetitively overused and affects the outer area of the elbow, rather than the inner area often identified with Golfer’s Elbow. Until the high-energy shockwave therapy produced by the OssaTron, patients not responding to anti-inflammatory medications, Cortisone shots, physical therapy and other conservative treatments were left only with the option of surgery to repair the damaged area. Following extensive research and careful progress tracking, the doctors of The Tennis Elbow Institute can now expand the application of this progressive treatment - which was previously used to treat kidney stones and heel pain. Now Tennis Elbow sufferers can find relief from a 20-minute outpatient procedure that repairs the damage and promotes rapid healing, without the risks and healing time of surgery.
