The elbow is a hinge joint consisting of three bones: The humerus, ulna, and radius. It’s essential for bending and straightening your arm, as well as countless day-to-day activities like lifting, reaching, and simply holding objects. When persistent elbow pain strikes, it can make it difficult to get through your routine comfortably.
Stem cell therapy is a remarkable regenerative treatment that bolsters your body’s natural repair process to accelerate healing and restore damaged tissue. Read on to learn how stem cell therapy for elbow pain can help you overcome discomfort without going under the knife.
Elbow Conditions That Can Be Treated with Stem Cells
Several elbow conditions can benefit from stem cell therapy, including:
- Arthritis is a degenerative condition that causes cartilage in the joints to wear down, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and pain. It’s often caused by age-related degeneration (osteoarthritis) or autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis).
- Tendinosis is a degenerative condition that causes the tendons, which connect muscle to bone, to gradually wear down. Often called tennis elbow or golf elbow, it’s commonly caused by repetitive movements involving the elbow, like swinging a tennis racket, leading to inflammation, pain, and weakness.
- Ligament sprains and tears occur when the ligaments that support the elbow become stretched or torn, either from overuse or a sudden injury. Ranging in severity from a minor stretch to a complete tear, this injury causes pain, swelling, and difficulty using the elbow.
Stem Cell Therapy for Elbow Pain
Stem cells have the ability to regenerate into virtually any type of cell. This makes them a powerful tool to stimulate your body’s tissue repair process, bring down inflammation, and gradually alleviate pain. At the Regenerative Orthopedic Institute, we offer stem cell therapy for elbow pain, with stem cells derived from your own bone marrow or fat cells to promote healing without surgery.
