I took my Mother in for stem cell and PRP treatment. Staff was excellent and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this type of treatment.
Understanding Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes compressed as it travels through the elbow. This nerve controls sensation in the ring and pinky fingers and coordinates many fine motor functions of the hand. Compression can lead to pain, weakness, and numbness.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Tingling or numbness in the ring and little fingers
- Weak grip strength or clumsiness
- Pain along the inner elbow or forearm
- Symptoms worsening at night or during phone use (“cell phone elbow”)
This condition is especially common among athletes, office workers, and manual laborers in Los Angeles who frequently bend or rest pressure on their elbows.
Advanced Diagnostics & Treatment Options
At Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., Dr. Nourparvar uses high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound for real-time imaging and precision diagnosis. Our goal is to avoid invasive surgery through leading-edge regenerative treatments that promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Non-Surgical Options Include:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets to accelerate nerve healing and reduce inflammation around the ulnar nerve.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell treatments help regenerate nerve sheaths and reduce fibrosis in chronic cases of nerve compression.
Ultrasound-Guided Hydrodissection
A minimally invasive technique that gently separates the nerve from surrounding tissue using a specialized fluid injection, guided by real-time ultrasound.
Patient Outcomes: Over 88% of patients treated for Cubital Tunnel Syndrome at our Los Angeles clinic report significant symptom relief within 2-4 sessions, without needing surgery.
