Elbow Pain & Relief: Restore Your Strength and Motion
Why Elbow Pain Often Arises And Persists
The elbow is a critical hinge for daily function—from lifting and gripping to reaching, pushing, or throwing. When pain strikes, even basic tasks can become frustrating and physically limiting.
Whether caused by overuse, tendon injury, arthritis, or nerve compression, elbow pain often develops gradually and worsens without proper treatment. In many cases, these conditions don’t resolve on their own and require targeted medical intervention to heal fully.
At The Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine (CHARM), we specialize in non-surgical, evidence-based solutions that target the source of elbow pain. We focus on restoring strength, mobility, and comfort without relying on invasive procedures or long recovery periods.
Common Elbow Conditions We Treat
Elbow pain can stem from repetitive use, proximal instability, trauma, nerve irritation, or degeneration and affect people of all ages and activity levels. Fortunately, many of these conditions respond well to regenerative therapies when treated early and accurately.
Conditions commonly treated with regenerative medicine at CHARM include:
- Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow): Degeneration of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, typically caused by overuse or repetitive wrist extension.
- Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow): Similar to tennis elbow, it affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow and is often related to gripping or throwing motions.
- Elbow Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease that leads to stiffness, reduced motion, and persistent discomfort with activity or at rest.
- Elbow Tendinosis: Chronic tendon injury resulting in microtears and poor healing, often without significant inflammation.
- Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injury: This condition, common in throwing athletes, involves strain or tearing of the ligament stabilizing the inner elbow.
- Olecranon Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sac at the tip of the elbow, often due to pressure, trauma, or repetitive motion.
- Radial Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the radial nerve in the forearm, causing pain that may mimic lateral epicondylitis.
- Partial Tendon Tears: Incomplete tearing of elbow tendons, which may cause sharp pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
CHARM’s Approach to Elbow Pain Treatments
Effective elbow pain treatments begin with a comprehensive evaluation. To do this, the specialists at CHARM take time to understand the full context of your pain—how it started, how it affects your movement, and what structural or functional issues may be contributing.
Our diagnostic process includes advanced imaging and functional testing to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. From there, our regenerative medicine providers work closely with rehabilitation specialists to develop a coordinated plan that not only relieves pain but also restores structural integrity and retrains movement for lasting results.
Regenerative Medicine Injections and Interventions We Use
Unlike conventional approaches that rely on medication or surgery, regenerative and interventional therapies harness the body’s natural repair mechanisms. These therapies can restore function, reduce pain, and prevent recurring injury when paired with precise, image-guided techniques.
Our regenerative treatment options include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP uses the body’s own platelets to stimulate tissue repair, accelerate healing, and improve joint stability.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): BMAC delivers a rich source of healing cells from your own bone marrow to promote the repair of stubborn or advanced injuries.
- Ultrasound-Guided Injections: These guided injections ensure precise, targeted treatment delivery to the exact source of pain for better results.
- Trigger Point or Bursa Injections: These injections relieve muscle tension or inflammation in painful soft tissue “hot spots” to improve movement and comfort.
- Platelet Lysate: Platelet lysate can be used around inflamed or compressed nerves to decrease irritation and improve tissue repair without the degenerative side effects of steroids.
