Elbow Pain Options

Ospina Medical Delivers Non-Surgical Elbow Care

Have you been told that your only options for elbow pain are steroids or surgery? At Ospina Medical in New York, NY, procedures using interventional orthobiologics may involve components from your own body to help support the body’s natural healing process.

Elbow pain can result from a variety of conditions. While tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are among the most common, other causes, such as UCL injuries and arthritis, may also contribute. Traditional surgical approaches often involve extended recovery time. Steroid injections, though frequently used, may reduce inflammation temporarily but have been associated with tissue breakdown over time. Surgical procedures may also carry risks, including infection, nerve irritation, tissue disruption, and postoperative pain. Additionally, current research provides limited evidence on the long-term effectiveness of elbow surgery.

Regenexx developed a specialized approach to orthopedic care known as Interventional Orthopedics. This method uses advanced imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, to guide the placement of concentrated components from your own body into targeted areas of a joint. This approach is designed to support the body’s natural healing process. This level of precision requires specific expertise and equipment that is not typically available in settings such as chiropractic offices.

For individuals experiencing elbow pain, procedures using Regenexx injectables may provide a non-surgical option. Performed on an outpatient basis, physicians in the licensed Regenexx network use image guidance to deliver customized concentrations of your body’s natural components directly to the affected tissues. These procedures are intended to help reduce pain and improve joint function.
