WHAT IS GOLFER'S ELBOW?
Golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis is inflammation of the tendon that joins the forearm to the elbow. Severe pain occurs in the bony bump inside the elbow. It will then radiate to the forearm. Golfer's elbow is a common type of disease and can be treated effectively with full rest. Repetitive forcing or flexing of tendons may result in severe injury. As the name suggests, it is not only related to golfers. This condition occurs in any person who uses their hands and wrist repetitively. For instance, people who play sports like baseball or tennis or using tools such as screwdrivers, hammers, etc. are more prone to medial epicondylitis.

Regenerative therapy
REGENERATIVE CELL TREATMENT
Recently a cutting edge innovative treatment named regenerative therapy has emerged as one of the most popular treatment methods for Golfer's elbow condition. It is non-surgical Regenerative cell treatment, and it is a safe treatment that naturally utilizes the intrinsic property of your regenerative cells to promote healing. This therapeutic approach not only alleviates the pain and other symptoms but also promotes self-healing of the damaged tissues. Unlike conventional treatment methods, regenerative cell treatment addresses the cause of the symptoms rather than merely masking the symptoms. Hence, this regenerative cell treatment has also reduced the need for medications, steroid injections and surgery.
