Is treatment for tennis elbow mainly for pain relief or cure?

Is the treatment mainly focused around pain relief rather than cure? So I think cure is we have to define cure here. So if the patient is out of pain and the inflammation in the tissue reverses, then I think we've affected a cure. So the tissue, the problem has resolved itself in that respect. So, out of those, the PRP and the shockwave therapy are the ones that come closest to cure in respect of pain relief and resolution of symptoms and the inflammation that we see. Remember, a lot of these conditions, the traditional wisdom is that a lot of these conditions are self-limiting, so they will eventually resolve but because of the symptoms that the patient experiences they can be quite they can can be quite painful for some people in fact very painful for some people so it affects the activities of daily living.
