We used VAS to find the degree of pain and Cozen's test, Mill's test and Resisted middle finger test were determined for the measurement of epicondylitis changed. Results: The following is the result of this study. 1. Pain on lateral epicondylitis was relived from VAS 7 to VAS 0. 2. There were improvements that the results of tests for epicondylitis, Cozen's test, Mill's test and Resisted middle finger test, changed positive into negative signs.
