If you frequently work with your hands, you may be placing undue strain on the tendons that run up your forearms to your elbows, resulting in pain, numbness, or discomfort.

At GIOSTAR, patients undergo multi-factorial analysis, which aids their provider in developing a unique and customized protocol to help them enjoy life again and rediscover activities they once cherished. This analysis also helps your provider identify the precise cause of your elbow and/or forearm pain.
Like any joint in the body, your elbow may be predisposed to arthritis, especially if you have a history of dislocations and instability in the joint, which may damage the articular cartilage.
Other common causes of elbow pain include tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, marked by inflammation in the tendons involved in extending your wrist or flexing it, respectively. Both conditions are common among men and women who frequently work with their hands, not just among professional tennis players and golfers.
Traditional medicine offers few solutions for elbow and forearm pain, apart from corticosteroid injections. However, many physicians avoid this treatment, as it can lead to atrophy and predispose the tendons to injury.
The goal at GIOSTAR is to use your body’s own repair mechanisms to promote healing and repair damaged tissue. Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), your GIOSTAR provider harnesses the natural growth factors in your blood to repair the damaged tissue, not to simply mask the symptoms as a steroid injection would.
Physical therapy (PT) may also be beneficial in reorganizing disorganized tissue, often seen in cases of tendinopathy. Depending on the results of your multi-factorial analysis, your provider may also incorporate PT into your treatment protocol.
According to the CDC, a whopping 24% of all adults, or 58.5 million people, have arthritis in the United States.

Effective in treating elbow arthritis, tennis elbow, and golfer’s elbow, PRP therapy and other regenerative medicine treatments can also effectively treat cubital tunnel syndrome. Cubital tunnel syndrome causes tingling, numbness, and pain in the ring and little fingers due to pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve, also known as the “funny bone.”
Whether you’re suffering from ulnar neuritis or tennis elbow, you need good medical treatment to help you start enjoying a life free of pain again. Injuries and diseases that affect your elbows and forearms can be very painful, and cause debilitating changes to your body that significantly affect your quality of life.
If you’re considering an expensive surgery or you’re heavy prescription drugs to help you with the pain, you may want to consider other more viable options first. Regenerative therapy is a viable option for anyone who is experiencing elbow and forearm pain. This option focuses on the use of highly effective stem cells to help rejuvenate your body and activate your internal healing mechanism. In doing so, regenerative therapy helps to tackle the root cause of your pain, as opposed to simply treating your symptoms on a superficial level.
