Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Tennis Elbow
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow:
- Pain on the outer side of the elbow.
- Pain worsens when exerting force or gripping.
- Caused by repetitive wrist movements, such as playing sports or doing household chores.
Ultrasound Imaging of Tennis Elbow: At Vasu Pain Management, we utilize Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections to treat damaged tendons associated with Tennis Elbow. PRP stimulates the repair of tendons or muscles, reducing pain.
After drawing blood from the patient, it is then placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelets.
Following that, the separated platelets are processed and placed into an LED Activation device to stimulate their function.
After we have obtained the platelets, they are injected into the patient using ultrasound guidance for precise targeting and optimal effectiveness.
