Elbow Conditions Treated using Platelet Rich Plasma

As an important joint involved in almost all arm movements, the elbows can become damaged with aging, overuse, sports, or injuries. Because many people lead active lifestyles, elbow injuries that involve the tendons are among the most common elbow problems. Several common elbow conditions can be improved with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, some of which include:

Better known as “golfer’s elbow,” this injury occurs to the tendons surrounding the elbow with chronic overuse. Often, the movement involved in swinging a golf club leads to this injury, especially over time. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy has helped many patients to overcome this injury, while quickening the healing process.

Also referred to as “tennis elbow,” this condition adversely affects the outer tendons of the elbow, which can lead to pain and inflammation. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy can help to heal lateral epicondylitis, allowing patients to return to participating in sports and performing daily activities.

Trauma to the very tip of the elbow, which is the olecranon, can lead to fractures in the bones. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy can help fractures to heal faster, allowing patients to decrease pain and regain the full use of their elbow.

While osteoarthritis typically affects the larger joints of the body, many patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis experience swollen, hot, painful, or burning elbow pain. In patients with this condition, nodules around the elbow may also be present. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy can help patients to reduce inflammation and pain caused from chronic arthritis.

What are some of the benefits of PRP for elbow issues?

PRP elbow injection treatments provide patients with many unique benefits that other therapies do not. Some advantages of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy elbow injections include:

Accelerated Healing

With its powerful growth factors, Platelet-Rich Plasma stimulates healing at the site of injection and helps to regenerate tendons, ligaments, and fascia.

No Down Time

There is no recovery time associated with PRP Therapy itself, so if your injury does not require surgery, you can get your injections and be on your way in about an hour.

Painless

Aside from a small amount of pressure at the injection site, most patients say that PRP Therapy is totally painless.

Pain-Relieving

As your Platelet-Rich Plasma works to restore soft tissues, it can relieve pain caused by overuse, scar tissue, injuries and even recent surgery. Many patients eliminate or reduce their reliance on painkillers following PRP Therapy treatments.

Low Risk

Because the platelets and growth factors in Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy are from your own body, there is no risk of allergic reactions, infections or rejection.

PRP is a safe and effective treatment for tennis elbow pain.

PRP or Platelet-rich plasma consists of just two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma is simply blood that contains more platelets than normal.

Harvesting PRP involves drawing a patient’s blood and processing the blood so that only the enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) remain. PRP cells are injected into the shoulder or treatment area.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy uses platelets and growth factors from the patient’s own blood to stimulate the production of stem cells within the shoulder’s tissues. When platelets are present, stem cells immediate come to the site of the platelets.

Stem cells can grow into any type of tissue in the human body, and they work to grow new flesh, while repairing any type of injury or inflammation. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy helps to repair numerous types of shoulder problems, while helping patients to reduce pain and regain full function of their shoulders.

At OB Men we use ultra-sound guided needle placement and the latest in PRP, and other regenerative techniques. We also employ peptide therapy which has shown impressive results with regards to healing. Some injuries that take more time to recover are those related to muscles and ligaments. We use a peptide that allows faster healing process bringing an excellent advantage to injured athletes to achieve their recovery in less time.
