Summary

Epicondylitis is one of the most common pathologies in tennis players. The search for an effective treatment is necessary for the relief of symptoms and the return to sports practice. Therefore, a ddry needling treatment in combination with electricity is postulated as an alternative to isolated dry needling treatment or conventional physiotherapy treatment. Data will be collected in relation to pain and muscle activation by EMG in order to check the effectiveness of these techniques as well as the muscle activation that is generated.
