Elbow pain can make everyday tasks challenging, from gripping objects to lifting and even basic arm movements. Whether caused by tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), chronic elbow pain can interfere with work, sports, and daily activities. At OrthoGen Health, we offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine therapies that reduce inflammation, repair soft tissue damage, and restore function–without surgery. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapy, and exosome therapy, our specialists in San Jose and Los Gatos help patients achieve long-lasting relief and regain mobility.
“Someone referred me to this place because i had a very bad knee pain which multiple other doctors i visited, told me have to have an open surgery but Dr.James told me can do PRP which is much easier and safer. I thought it worth trying it. After almost 2 years, i still have no pain and i got back to normal life. I am so glad listen to Dr, James and for your info i think he has one of the highest certificates that only a few doctors in the US have it.
He is so kind and acknowledgeable and i definitely recommend anyone who has joint pain before letting others to have any open surgeries which obviously they want nothing but making money.Thanks you for making the life enjoyable for me again.”
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
Elbow pain can result from repetitive strain, overuse, or degenerative conditions, including:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow caused by repetitive arm motions
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Irritation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow due to overuse or repetitive gripping
Elbow Arthritis
Degeneration of cartilage in the elbow joint, leading to stiffness and pain
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursa sac, causing swelling and discomfort
Tendonitis
Chronic inflammation of the tendons, resulting in pain and reduced mobility
Ulnar Nerve Entrapment (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)
Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, causing pain and numbness
How Regenerative Medicine Can Help Elbow Pain
Traditional treatments for elbow pain, such as cortisone injections and anti-inflammatory medications, often provide only temporary relief. Regenerative medicine offers a long-term solution by healing the underlying tissue damage and reducing inflammation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Stimulates tendon repair and reduces inflammation with concentrated growth factors
Stem Cell Therapy
Supports tissue regeneration and enhances long-term joint health
Exosome Therapy
Boosts cellular communication for faster healing and pain relief
Studies show that PRP therapy can reduce pain and improve function in up to 70% of patients with chronic tennis elbow and that stem cell therapy may help regenerate damaged tendons and delay the need for surgery.
