Elbow Joint Regeneration Treatment
Orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis of the elbow, and repetitive motion and sports injuries, like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) can often lead to long-term pain, inflammation, mobility problems, and ultimately, joint damage and deterioration in many cases. In the past, patients relied on conservative treatments like rest and physical therapy to manage and alleviate symptoms where possible. Surgery and artificial replacements for essential cartilage and connective tissue is also an option for some patients whose injuries do not respond to conservative treatment.
Elbow Joint Regeneration Treatment
Thanks to the developments and advancements in regenerative medicine for orthopedic conditions in recent years, experts like orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Steven Meier and his team at Meier Orthopedic Sports Medicine in Beverly Hills, some patients are experiencing the benefits of elbow joint regeneration treatment.
This relatively new, cutting-edge treatment material that already exists in the human body, stem cells and platelets, to offer a new, non-surgical treatment option for chronic elbow pain and injuries, so that professional athletes and anyone suffering from debilitating pain can continue to perform their work and the activities they love.
Some of the regenerative joint treatments available at Meier Orthopedic Sports Medicine in Beverly Hills include:
Prolotherapy
An injection used to help alleviate pain, and stimulate the immune system and help with the growth of tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelets contain an element known as growth factors, which can help to speed up and enhance the healing process. This therapy creates a highly concentrated dose of plasma using the patient’s own blood.
Stem Cell Treatment
Stem cells can help to grow tissue that has been damaged or lost. Given their ability to differentiate into different types of tissue, this treatment can help to regenerate lost connective tissue in the elbow joint.
