Elbow Pain and Arthritis

Elbow pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Overuse: Repetitive motions or activities, such as playing sports that involve throwing or using the arms, can cause overuse injuries like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow.
  • Injuries: Traumatic injuries, such as fractures, dislocations, or sprains, can cause elbow pain.
  • Arthritis: Various forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, can cause elbow pain.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small sacs filled with fluid that cushion the joint, can cause pain and swelling in the elbow.
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons that attach muscles to bone can cause elbow pain.
  • Radial tunnel syndrome: A condition in which the radial nerve, which runs from the upper arm to the hand, is compressed or irritated, can cause pain and numbness in the elbow and forearm.
  • Cubital tunnel syndrome: A condition in which the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck to the hand, is compressed or irritated, can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the elbow and hand.
  • Pinched nerve: Compression of a nerve in the elbow, such as the median or ulnar nerve, can cause pain, weakness, and numbness in the elbow and hand.

Symptoms of elbow pain can vary depending on the underlying cause, but may include:

  • Pain or discomfort in the elbow joint
  • Swelling or inflammation of the elbow joint
  • Stiffness or limited range of motion in the elbow joint
  • Weakness in the arm or hand
  • Numbness or tingling in the arm or hand
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the elbow joint
  • Redness or warmth around the elbow joint
  • Difficulty gripping or holding objects
  • Pain that worsens with activity or movement of the elbow joint
  • Pain that interferes with daily activities, such as reaching or lifting.

Regenerative medicine may help with elbow pain by promoting the healing and regeneration of damaged tissues in the elbow joint. There are several regenerative medicine techniques that may be used to treat elbow pain, including:

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP therapy involves the injection of concentrated platelets and growth factors into the affected area to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. PRP therapy may be used to treat conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, which are caused by overuse injuries.
  • Stem cell therapy: Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types and can potentially regenerate damaged tissues in the elbow joint. Stem cells may be obtained from the patient’s own bone marrow which is very effective in treating this condition.

How Can Regenerative Treatments Help With Arthritis

Regenerative treatments can help with arthritis by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. Arthritis causes damage to the cartilage, bones, and other tissues in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Regenerative treatments like Stem Cell therapy, PRP therapy, A2M therapy, and Clarix Flo therapy are designed to help repair and regenerate damaged tissues, allowing the joint to function more effectively.

What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are your body’s raw materials—basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.

Types of Stem Cells :

Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)

Found in early-stage embryos. Super powerful, can become any cell in the body. They are not typically used in modern clinical settings in the U.S. We don’t offer treatments using ESCs.

Adult Stem Cells (ASCs)

Found in tissues like bone marrow and fat. Their job is to maintain and repair the tissue they come from. These are what we mostly use in regenerative medicine. We do offer treatments using ASCs.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

This is the type A subtype of adult stem cells found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cords. They're amazing at reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, and helping damaged tissue heal. We do offer treatments using MSCs.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

Regular adult cells that scientists “reprogram” to act like embryonic stem cells. Big in research, not widely used yet in clinical care. We do not work with iPSCs.
