Understanding Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow results from repetitive motions such as gripping, lifting, or flexing the wrist, causing tiny tears and inflammation in the tendons attached to the medial epicondyle–the bony prominence on the inner elbow. While common among golfers, this condition also affects tennis players, manual laborers, and anyone performing repetitive arm movements in the Los Angeles area.
Symptoms include:
- Pain and tenderness on the inner elbow
- Weakness in gripping or wrist flexion
- Stiffness and discomfort during arm movement
According to recent studies, regenerative therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections lead to significant improvements in 75-85% of patients, reducing pain and accelerating tendon healing.
Advanced Regenerative Treatment Options
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate healing of injured tendons, effectively reducing inflammation and pain without surgery.
Stem Cell Therapy
This treatment promotes tissue regeneration and recovery by delivering powerful stem cells directly to the damaged area, fostering long-term healing with minimal downtime.
Both procedures are performed under ultrasound guidance at our Beverly Hills clinic, ensuring precise delivery and optimal patient comfort.
