Non-Surgical Treatments

Start With the Least-Invasive Options

Non-Surgical Shoulder & Elbow Treatments

• Physical Therapy Our specialized physical therapists design targeted exercise programs to improve elbow strength, flexibility, and function. Many patients with tennis elbow, arthritis, or minor injuries experience significant improvement without surgery.
  • Therapeutic exercises and stretching protocols
  • Manual therapy and joint mobilization techniques
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy PRP uses your body's own healing factors to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair in the elbow joint. This regenerative treatment can be particularly effective for tendon injuries and early-stage arthritis.
  • Concentrated growth factors from your own blood
  • Minimally invasive injection procedure
• Corticosteroid Injections Targeted injections can provide significant pain relief and reduce inflammation in the elbow joint. These treatments are often used for conditions like tennis elbow, bursitis, or arthritis flare-ups.
  • Image-guided precision injection techniques
  • Quick in-office procedure with immediate relief potential
• Activity Modification and Bracing Our specialists help you identify activities that may be contributing to your elbow pain and provide custom bracing solutions. This conservative approach often provides relief for overuse injuries and chronic conditions.
  • Ergonomic assessments and workplace modifications
  • Custom and off-the-shelf bracing options
• Anti-inflammatory Medications Our physicians work closely with our in-house pharmacy to optimize your medication regimen for elbow pain and inflammation. We focus on both prescription and over-the-counter options that are safe and effective for your specific condition.
  • Personalized medication management
  • Topical and oral anti-inflammatory options

Studies show that up to 80% of patients with tennis elbow experience significant improvement with conservative treatment within 6-12 weeks.
