Chronic pain on the outside of the elbow that won't ease despite rehab?
PRP heals the degenerated tendon and, in randomised trials, produced 0% surgical need vs 20% after physiotherapy alone.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is chronic tendon involvement on the outside of the elbow, often from repetitive gripping. With ultrasound-guided PRP treatment the tendon heals structurally — not just symptomatically.

Tennis elbow is a chronic overuse injury of the tendon attachment on the outside of the elbow. Despite the name, it more often affects people with repetitive computer work, tradespeople or those who lift a lot. Pain occurs with gripping and can be disabling. Standard treatment — rest, cortisone, physiotherapy — often only provides temporary relief in chronic cases.
After examination with diagnostic ultrasound we map the state of the tendon. Ultrasound-guided PRP injection is placed with precision into the degenerated tendon area and stimulates structural healing. Treatment is combined with progressive eccentric exercise for optimal results. Most patients notice clear improvement within 6–12 weeks.
We always begin with a thorough examination by a licensed physiotherapist with diagnostic ultrasound.
