Tennis elbow, clinically termed as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow. It's commonly seen in individuals who repetitively use their forearms and wrists, leading to small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle. Opting for tennis elbow release in Thailand offers the combined benefit of high-quality medical care and the recuperative power of Thailand's serene environment.

Tennis elbow release is a surgical intervention recommended when conservative treatments like physical therapy or corticosteroid injections do not relieve the pain caused by tennis elbow. The surgery aims to remove the damaged part of the tendon, relieving pain and helping restore function. This procedure is generally considered when the patient experiences persistent and debilitating pain for more than six months despite non-surgical treatments.
Preparation begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, including imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound to assess the tendon's damage extent. Patients may be advised to stop certain medications that could increase bleeding risks, and physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the forearm muscles. Smoking cessation is often urged as it can affect the healing process.
The procedure can be done through open surgery or arthroscopically. The surgeon makes an incision over the lateral epicondyle, locates the damaged tendon tissue, and then removes it. The remaining healthy tendon may be reattached, and in some cases, bone spurs, if present, are removed. The skin is then sutured closed.
Post-surgery, a bandage or splint is applied to stabilize the elbow. Physical therapy is introduced gradually to restore strength and flexibility. The pain from surgery subsides in a few days, and patients can expect to resume daily activities within 1-2 weeks. However, heavy lifting or strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 12 weeks post-surgery.
Tennis elbow release in Thailand is not only quality-centric but also cost-effective. The procedure's average cost ranges between $2,500 to $4,500, though variations can exist depending on the medical facility and surgeon's expertise. It's worth noting that this does not include expenses related to travel and accommodation.

It's generally recommended to wait about 7-10 days post-surgery before flying to minimize potential complications. Always consult your surgeon about your specific situation.
For tennis elbow release, consider planning a 10 to 14-day stay in Thailand. This provides adequate time for pre-operative consultations, surgery, and immediate post-operative care.
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍
"Konkai helped me with what was becoming a confusing process. After contacting Konkai they quickly found a doctor that specialized in the procedure I requested and helped set up an appointment during my trip to Thailand. I will definitely contact them again if the need arises."
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"Thanks for your help things went very smoothly. Your help is essential for easing my anxiety before my trip. Excellent job."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
"The customer care at Konkai Health has been great. I was looking at treatment options for my back. They got back to me fast and gave me options to connect with some top doctors and surgeons in Thailand. The doctors assessed my condition, did a video call, and gave me recommendations to fix it. Thank you. I recommend them for anyone interested in medical tourism to Thailand."
"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc. I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
"Konkai Health's service has truly been outstanding. From providing directions to the hospital, hotel recommendations in there, or simply checking up on how everything has gone. I fully recommend them to anyone wanting to see a doctor in Thailand."
I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.
I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery. I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.
Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
"Everything went really well the staff were kind and helpful my experience there was very good experience"
" I returned home safe and sound, Thank you for all your help :)"
