PRP for Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is caused by overuse of the forearm tendons. When rest, therapy, and bracing aren’t enough, PRP therapy may provide relief.
How PRP Helps Tennis Elbow
Using your own platelets, PRP injections target the damaged tendon at the elbow. Platelet growth factors stimulate tissue repair and may improve grip strength and reduce pain.
Benefits of PRP for Elbow Tendinopathy
- Targets the source of tendon injury
- Minimally invasive and performed in-office
- Uses your own biologic healing potential
- Often provides longer relief than cortisone shots
What to Expect
Discomfort at the injection site may last a few days. Most patients notice improvements in pain and function within weeks, especially when combined with bracing.
