Elbow
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression 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
Ultrasound-guided hydrodissection, PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)
Elbow Osteoarthritis & Joint Pain
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of joint pain. Defined as 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
- 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
Nerve hydrodissection, PRP, Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), trigger points 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
- Increased pain with wrist or finger extension, and hand supination
- Tenderness over the radial tunnel
- Increased discomfort with gripping or twisting motions
Causes
Repetitive forearm use, overuse, trauma, prolonged gripping; muscle stiffness/inflammation; structural factors.
Treatment options
PRP, Nerve hydrodissection, Trigger points injection
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 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).
