Inner elbow pain. Medial epicondylitis. Golfer’s elbow. Whatever you call it – it’s highly debilitating and disruptive. Of course, playing too much golf or tennis will hasten the development of medial epicondylitis – but you don’t have to be a golfer, or even an athlete to suffer from it. You just have to make repetitive motions with your forearm. Even shaking hands or pouring juice can irritate your elbow.

First, tenderness on the inside of the elbow radiates down your arm. It may become so chronic that touching your elbow is painful. Finally, it can cause wrist or hand weakness, finger tingling, numbness, or pain when you’re trying to grip something.

So, what do you do if you want to avoid the risks, costs and down time of surgery? Cortisone injections, while potentially beneficial in the short term, have negative side effects and may even predispose the tendon to more tearing if too many shots are injected.

That’s why Dr. Truong and her regenerative medicine team at Truong Rehabilitation Center use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) – the regeneration of your tissue via your own blood platelets. For over a decade they’ve been using this natural, non- invasive procedure to regenerate elbows for patients whose repetitive motions have taken a toll.
