A GOOD physio, chiropractor or osteopath will do the same sort of thing these days. Unfortunately there are still heaps of not so good ones around. All three disciplines should take a holistic approach and will all work the soft tissue and mobilise joints to relieve neural impingement. My Physio utilises cupping and dry needling (acupuncture) among plenty of other hands on techniques but doesn't use any electronic devices. Times have changed and the good ones have learnt from the other disciplines so that they all do similar work now.
Your best bet is to find a good physio/osteo who works with professional athletes. It will require a combination of progressive exercises and soft tissue work (massage) to help it recover so be prepared to go a few times to get it right (ie once a week for a few weeks). Preventative taping will also help to avoid recurrence when you are doing things that load it up. If you want, I can tape it up for the Christmas track day.
Yep, the physio guy picked it pretty quickly so I'm kind of happy with his diagnosis. He's got me doing weirdo wrist exercises with light weights and massage of the muscles in my forearm before the twelfth so he reckons I should be cool. Bring your tape just in case though. Thanks mate.

Screwing in all the floorboards, which were about head-height for me off the ground, I had me arms up high, pushing down vertically on the drill, to screw the boards in.
