I had horrible problems with my L5/S1 lower back and found the PRO institute. I promised I would write a follow up review. I’m actually a little freaked out because I’m about 80-90% back to normal. I love doing spin, yoga, Pilates and I feel like I’m back without post workout pain. I’m still careful but I’m literally amazed that I rarely have pain.
Understanding Elbow Bursitis
Elbow bursitis occurs when the olecranon bursa becomes inflamed, often due to repetitive trauma, prolonged pressure on the elbow, infection, or underlying conditions such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis. This condition leads to swelling, pain, and limited mobility, impacting daily activities and overall quality of life.
Symptoms Include:
- Noticeable swelling or puffiness at the back of the elbow
- Tenderness and warmth over the affected area
- Discomfort when bending the elbow or resting weight on it
Clinical studies report that regenerative therapies such as PRP and stem cell treatments have demonstrated success rates exceeding 80% in symptom relief and functional recovery for patients with elbow bursitis, surpassing traditional conservative treatments.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Utilizing your own blood’s platelets, PRP therapy accelerates healing by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration within the bursa.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell injections activate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, targeting inflammation at its source and encouraging durable recovery without surgery.
Both therapies are administered with ultrasound guidance at our Beverly Hills clinic to ensure precision, safety, and enhanced patient comfort.
