Elbow

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by increased pressure on the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel—a narrow passageway consisting of bone and ligaments on the inside of the elbow. This nerve compression can lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers.

Symptoms

Numbness or tingling in the ring and pinky fingers
Weakness in the hand or difficulty gripping objects
Pain on the inside of the elbow, especially with bending
A “claw-like” deformity in severe cases due to muscle weakness

Causes

Prolonged elbow flexion, repetitive ending/leaning, trauma, anatomical variations, hypermobility.

Treatment options

PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection, Shockwave therapy.

Elbow Osteoarthritis & Joint Pain

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of joint pain. Indicated by the gradual breakdown of cartilage which cushions the ends of bones in joints, it leads to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.

Symptoms

Joint paint the worsens with activity

Stiffness

Reduced range of motion
Swelling
Sound or grating sensation at the joint
Muscle spasms

Causes

Age, family history, prior joint injury, repetitive overuse.

Treatment options

PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF).

Pronator Syndrome

Pronator syndrome is a nerve compression condition where the median nerve is entrapped as it passes through the forearm. This condition leads to pain and functional limitations in the hand and wrist.

Symptoms

Severe pain during movement or at night
Stiffness
Tenderness to touch
Reduced range of motion
Swelling and inflammation

Causes

Repetitive pronation, pronator teres spasm, trauma, muscle hypertrophy, anatomical variations.

Treatment options

PRP, Platelet lysate, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), Nerve hydrodissection, Trigger point or Botox injections.

Radial Tunnel Syndrome

Radial tunnel syndrome is a nerve compression condition affecting the radial nerve as it passes through the forearm. It can cause discomfort, weakness, and pain, particularly along the outer forearm and wrist, impacting daily activities and hand function.

Symptoms

Dull aching pain in the forearm, particularly with movement
Weakness with wrist or finger extension
Tenderness over the radial tunnel
Increased discomfort with gripping or twisting motions

Causes

Repetitive forearm use, overuse, trauma, prolonged gripping; muscle ghtness/inflammation; structural factors.

Treatment options

PRP, Platelet lysate, Nerve hydrodissection, Trigger point.

Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) causes pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) results in pain and inflammation on the inner part of the elbow. Both conditions result from overuse and strain of the forearm muscles and tendons, which leads to microtears and inflammation.

Symptoms

Pain and tenderness on outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golfer’s elbow) the elbow
Pain may extend to the forearm and wrist
Weak grip strength
Elbow stiffness
Numbness or tingling
Worsening pain with activity

Causes

Repetitive wrist flexion or gripping, overuse, muscle strain, repetitive stress.

Treatment options

Shockwave therapy, Prolotherapy, PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF).

Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) Syndrome

Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) syndrome is a nerve compression condition affecting a deep branch of the radial nerve in the forearm. The PIN controls the extension of the wrist and fingers, and when it becomes compressed or irritated, patients experience weakness, discomfort, or pain in the forearm and hand—often without numbness.

Symptoms

Weakness in wrist or finger extension
Difficulty straightening the fingers or lifting the wrist
Aching pain or deep discomfort in the upper forearm
Tenderness over the extensor muscles
Fatigue or weakness with repetitive gripping or lifting

Causes

Repetitive forearm rotation(pronation/supination), overuse from sports or occupational activity, direct trauma or impact to the forearm, inflammation or muscle tightness, anatomical variations causing narrowing of the nerve pathway.

Treatment options

Nerve hydrodissection therapy, PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF).
