Understanding Elbow Pain: More Than Just Tennis or Golf
Elbow pain can be caused by various factors, including overuse, trauma, or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. While tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common culprits, they can affect anyone, not just athletes. In fact, less than 10% of cases are sports-related, with many occurring in individuals with non-ergonomic workstations or repetitive tasks.
Recognizing Tennis and Golfer's Elbow:
Tennis elbow typically causes pain, aching, or burning along the outside of the arm and elbow, while golfer's elbow presents similar symptoms on the inside of the arm and elbow. Over time, these symptoms can worsen, even at rest, and may lead to weakness in grip strength and difficulty performing everyday tasks.
Several factors increase the risk of developing tennis or golfer's elbow, including repetitive arm movements, overuse, age over 40, obesity, previous injuries, and certain medical conditions like rotator cuff injury or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Traditional medical options for elbow pain often include medications and physical rehabilitation, which may provide temporary relief but do little to address the underlying problem. Corticosteroid injections, while effective in reducing inflammation, carry risks of side effects and potential long-term consequences.
Innovative regenerative medicine therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, human tissue allograft treatments, and extracorporeal pulsed activation therapy (EPAT), offer safer and more effective alternatives. These treatments harness the body's natural healing processes to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain without the risks associated with surgery or medication.
