Stem Cell and Platelet-Rich Plasma Procedures for Elbow Injuries, Overuse Conditions, and Arthritis
Elbow pain can interfere with many everyday activities. Lifting objects, gripping a coffee mug, typing at your desk, or even shaking hands may trigger discomfort. Athletes and active individuals often find that elbow injuries limit performance in sports like tennis, golf, baseball, or weight training. Over time, persistent pain and stiffness can affect work, hobbies, and quality of life.

How Regenerative Medicine May Help Elbow Injuries, Arthritis, Overuse Injuries, and Other Painful Conditions
Conventional treatments for elbow pain often include rest, bracing, physical therapy, medications, or steroid injections. While these may provide temporary relief, they do not always promote long-term healing. Regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) are designed to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes. With precise, image-guided injections, these treatments deliver healing growth factors and regenerative cells directly into the damaged tendons, ligaments, or joint structures with the goal of reducing pain and restoring function.
Elbow Treatment Options at RegenOrthoSport
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Platelets from your blood are concentrated and injected to stimulate tendon and ligament healing while reducing inflammation.
- Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC): Stem cells and growth factors from your bone marrow are injected to promote repair of chronic tendon injuries and joint degeneration.
Common Elbow Conditions Treated
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Ligament injuries and sprains
- Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries
- Biceps or triceps tendon injuries
- Sports-related and overuse injuries
- Elbow Osteoarthritis
- Instability
- Nerve entrapment (ulnar nerve)

Why Consider Regenerative Injections Before Surgery or Steroids?
Steroid injections for elbow pain may provide quick relief, but they do not encourage healing and can weaken tissue with repeated use. Surgery, such as tendon release or ligament reconstruction, may be necessary in certain cases but requires recovery time and carries risks of complications. Regenerative injections with PRP or BMAC are minimally invasive and focus on helping the body repair itself. For many patients, these treatments may reduce pain, restore strength, and delay or avoid the need for surgery.

How Stem Cell Procedures and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Procedures Work
How Stem Cell Procedures Work
Stem cell injection procedures are a minimally invasive treatment designed to help the body repair orthopedic injuries and degenerative conditions. The process begins with collecting bone marrow, which contains stem cells, from the iliac crest of the pelvis. This sample is processed in a centrifuge to create bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), which contains stem cells, growth factors, and other healing components.
Using precise ultrasound or X-ray guidance, the concentrate is injected directly into the injured or arthritic area. Once delivered, these cells release signals that reduce inflammation, encourage tissue repair, and stimulate long-term healing.
Unlike steroid injections or pain medications, which only mask symptoms, stem cell therapy attempts to target the root cause of pain. It is commonly used for arthritis, meniscus injuries, ligament sprains, and tendon damage, offering patients a potential alternative to surgery. Many experience gradual improvement in pain and mobility over the weeks to months following the procedure.
How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures are a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to support healing in injured joints, tendons, and ligaments. The procedure begins with a blood draw, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets. These platelets contain powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair.
Once prepared, the PRP solution is precisely injected into the injured or painful area using ultrasound or X-ray guidance. The concentrated platelets release signals that stimulate natural healing, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue regeneration.
Unlike cortisone injections, which typically provide temporary symptom relief, PRP is designed to promote long-term repair. It is often used for arthritis, tendon injuries such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff problems, ligament sprains, and sports-related conditions. Many patients experience gradual improvement in function and reduced pain over several weeks to months following treatment.
