Heal Tennis Elbow With Regenerative Treatment

 The lateral epicondyle is a bony bump on the outer side of the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, also known as Tennis elbow, is an inflammatory condition that causes pain if tendons in the elbow get injured due to overuse of the arm and the wrist. Unlike the name, athletes are not the only ones who develop this disorder. Painters, plumbers, butchers, carpenters, and repetitive computer mouse users are also prone to lateral epicondylitis, as their jobs involve the overuse of both arm and wrist. The muscles of the forearm and tendons get damaged due to their repetitive overuse. This intense pain may also spread to the wrist and forearm.

The symptoms of Tennis elbow include:

  • Pain on the outer part of the elbow

  • Tenderness over the lateral epicondyle (prominent part on the outside of the elbow)

  • Weaker range of motion

  • Stiffness

The following actions may aggravate the symptoms of Tennis elbow:

  • Shaking hands

  • Griping an object

  • Turning a doorknob

  • Holding a coffee cup

  • Lifting or bending arm

  • Moving or stabilizing the wrist with force

  • Extending the arm fully

The physician may recommend a detailed physical examination and medical history to diagnose Tennis elbow condition. He/she will ask you to move the wrist, fingers, and elbow in all ways or apply pressure to the affected area, during physical examination. To find the cause of the symptoms, your physician may suggest X-rays or other such imaging tests.

Treatment for Tennis elbow

The conventional treatment for tennis elbow includes both non-surgical procedures and surgical procedures to improve the strength and function of elbow joints. These treatment options control the symptoms and avoid further joint damage. Non-surgical procedures include R.I.C.E. Formula (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), using orthotic devices (braces) and physical therapy. These options are suggested as home-based treatment. Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroid injections provide temporary relief, but they have local and systemic side effects.

Finally, your doctor may suggest elbow arthroscopy if there is no improvement in your symptoms. But surgery has a few disadvantages. And even after the surgery, you will have to undergo follow up post-operative rehabilitation protocols for the complete recovery of your elbow joint. You can return to your routine life between six months to one year after the surgery. Surgery can increase the rate of bone erosion and weakness. Hence, many people are forced to opt for surgery again in their later stages.

If you are have tennis elbow, do not think that surgery is the only alternative. Medica Stem Cells Clinic in Ireland offers safe and effective non-surgical regenerative treatment to heal the tennis elbow condition naturally. Regenerative treatments such as PRP therapy, prolotherapy and stem cell therapy repairs the damaged elbow and revive its normal function naturally. They enhance recovery within a short period by stimulating your body’s healing mechanism without any side effects. This non-surgical stem cell treatment and PRP therapy involve the use of one’s own stem cells or blood cells, respectively. So, there is no risk of any rejection or cross-transmission of disease.

Start running again with Regenerative Treatment for Runner’s knee

The pressure experienced by the knee joint is approximately three times the body’s weight when walking and about five times the body’s weight when running. In short, a person who weighs 80 kg puts about 400kg of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride. The immense pressure experienced by the knee, especially in runners, makes the knee more prone to injury. Iliotibial or IT band syndrome, also called runner’s knee, is a common knee injury, especially in runners.
