Tennis Elbow
Tendonitis (also referred to as tendinitis) of the tissue connecting the outside of your forearm muscle to your elbow is known as tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis. When this tissue suffers from acute or chronic inflammation, it may cause mild to moderate pain in the elbow and surrounding areas and limit your ability to move the afflicted arm. Other prevalent types of tendonitis include:
Golfer's Elbow
Pitcher’s Shoulder
Jumper’s Knee
Swimmer’s Shoulder
More About Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow can have several causes, including muscular weakness and strenuous activity. However, this painful condition is typically an overuse injury, meaning repetitive movements and soft tissue stress are the most common culprits. At Orthobiologics Associates, we can help minimize or even eliminate epicondylitis-related discomfort and mobility problems with PRP for tennis elbow and other non-surgical therapies.
We’ll start by performing a comprehensive evaluation of the affected area to identify the root cause of your symptoms. After confirming your diagnosis, we’ll discuss which of our non-surgical treatments for tennis elbow are most appropriate for your condition and lifestyle. We offer several holistic treatment options that are effective for many different ailments.
Our regenerative medicine clinics are full-service orthobiologic therapy facilities able to harvest regenerative cells from multiple tissues, including fat, bone marrow, and blood. You can trust our trained professionals to formulate a personalized treatment plan that’s appropriate for your condition.
Orthobiologics for Tennis Elbow
Cell Therapy Ortho-Biologics is a non-surgical, in-office procedure completed on an outpatient basis. This minimally invasive therapy offers many advantages over surgery, including less discomfort, reduced risk of post-treatment complications, shorter recovery periods, and faster restoration of strength, range of motion, and mobility.
Cell Therapy Ortho-Biologics leverages natural stem cells for tennis elbow and/or platelet injections for tennis elbow to treat persistent pain and mobility impairments. While many patients notice results within weeks, full recovery may require up to one year. Ultimately, the outcome of your treatment will depend on the severity of your condition.
We promote tissue regeneration and healing by performing stem cell and/or plasma injections for tennis elbow throughout the affected area(s). The procedure is quick, virtually painless, safe, and effective. In most cases, patients report resuming their normal activities within 24-48 hours.
Tennis Elbow Treatment Options
In addition to stem cell and platelet therapy for tennis elbow, we offer multiple treatments that can help with epicondylitis pain and mobility issues. Bracing is one such treatment that may help you heal more quickly or even avoid surgical or pharmaceutical interventions. Whether you suffer from acute or chronic discomfort, a properly fitted brace can help mitigate further tissue damage and encourage faster recovery.
Having multiple tools available allows us to address the underlying cause of your pain, improve many symptoms, and, ultimately, ensure your best treatment outcome. To discuss how we can assist with your recovery, please contact our office today to schedule a consultation.
Nutritional Counseling
Our nutritional counseling experts can also recommend dietary changes that may help decrease tendon inflammation, as well as joint stress and pain. After evaluating your laboratory values and specific needs, we can formulate a personalized nutrition plan that promotes overall well-being and works with your lifestyle.
As you work toward healing, our expert team will support you every step of the way. You truly are what you eat, and our nutritional counseling will educate you on how to achieve and maintain good health. Optimizing your diet can also help you overcome many challenges such as golfer’s elbow that may be exacerbated by inadequate nutrition.
