Understanding Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow results from repetitive strain causing microtears in the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the outer elbow (lateral epicondyle). It commonly affects athletes, manual workers, and office professionals in Los Angeles who perform repetitive arm motions. Symptoms include:
- Sharp or burning pain on the outside of the elbow
- Weakness in gripping or lifting objects
- Discomfort that worsens with wrist or hand movements
According to clinical studies, regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cell injections offer a 70-85% success rate in pain reduction and functional recovery, providing a promising alternative to surgery.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Using your own blood’s concentrated growth factors, PRP injections stimulate natural healing of damaged tendons, reducing inflammation and accelerating recovery.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells harvested from your body promote tendon regeneration and repair, addressing the root cause of tennis elbow while minimizing downtime and discomfort.
Both therapies are delivered with ultrasound guidance for precision, ensuring maximal effectiveness and patient comfort.
