Avoid Elbow Surgery with Regenexx

People suffering from tennis or golfer’s elbow often have a difficult time opening a door or shaking someone’s hand. Common approaches to treating tennis elbow include destructive steroid injections or invasive elbow surgery that has been shown to be no better than sham surgery for treating symptoms.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing cells into the exact areas of damage in your elbow to repair damaged tissues and to improve function and mobility. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work. Call our patient care coordinators today to get started on your path to recovery.

Orthobiologic injections allow us to help the body’s natural healing agents repair areas of musculoskeletal degeneration and injury without the use of (and associated cell damage from) corticosteroids, with the goal of improving function, decreasing pain, and avoiding surgery. I take the time to let my patients tell me their whole story, including their goals and challenges, and perform a thorough musculoskeletal exam. I take a whole-body, holistic approach to my patients, and work with my patients to get them back into their game. He strives to be partners with his patients on the road to recovery, better health, and higher function.
