Elbow pain can come from the tendons, the nerves, or the joint itself. Whether it is tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or nerve entrapment, we target the real source with image-guided precision.
Most chronic elbow pain stems from small tendon injuries that never fully heal, or from nerves being pinched as they cross the elbow. Medial and lateral epicondylitis are the most common, but there are several other patterns we see.
Ultrasound guidance allows us to place treatments exactly where they need to go, which improves outcomes and limits repeat visits.
The exact location of your elbow pain tells us a lot about the underlying problem.
We start with simpler injections and move to regenerative or nerve-targeting options when needed.
Targeted injections into tight forearm and shoulder muscles that pull on inflamed elbow tendons. Often enough to settle the pain cycle.
A regenerative injection using your own platelets. Especially helpful for chronic tennis or golfer's elbow that has not healed with rest.
A precise joint injection for arthritic or inflamed elbow joints. Ultrasound guidance confirms accurate placement.
A short-term implant that calms a pinched or irritated elbow nerve. A good option for pain that has not responded to conservative care.
Call us if you cannot straighten or bend the elbow after an injury, if there is sudden swelling or deformity, or if you have spreading numbness and weakness in the hand.
Steroid often gives faster short-term relief, but PRP tends to work better over the long run for chronic cases. We pick based on your timeline, goals, and how the tendon looks on ultrasound.
We usually ask you to back off from the aggravating activity briefly while the tendon settles, then progress back in with support from physical therapy. Complete rest is rarely needed.
We move up the ladder thoughtfully. Peripheral nerve stimulation and other advanced options exist for stubborn elbow pain, and surgery is rarely the first answer.
