Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow):

Diagnosis:

 Diagnosis of Golfer’s Elbow is based on your medical history and a physical examination by   a healthcare provider. The doctor will ask about your daily activities and any repetitive motions that may have triggered your symptoms. During the physical exam, specific movements will be performed to identify the area of discomfort. In some cases, imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs may be ordered to rule out other conditions or injuries.

Treatment:

 There are several treatment options for Golfer’s Elbow, ranging from conservative care to more advanced therapies. Resting the affected arm and avoiding activities that aggravate the condition is essential. Applying ice, using over-the-counter pain relievers, and performing gentle stretching exercises can help manage symptoms. Physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the forearm muscles and improve flexibility. For more persistent cases, braces, splints, or corticosteroid injections might be suggested to provide relief.

 Regenerative Medicine:  

Regenerative medicine, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, offers an advanced option for treating Golfer’s Elbow. This therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by using concentrated growth factors from your own blood to repair the damaged tendons. In our practice, we have had great success with regenerative therapies, helping patients achieve significant pain relief and improved function without the need for surgery. This innovative treatment provides hope for lasting recovery and a return to your favorite activities.
