Elbow pain—whether on the inside or outside of the joint—can disrupt your workouts, your job, and even simple everyday tasks. At Deep Relief in Austin, we specialize in treating tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) with advanced, non-surgical options like PRP therapy.
If you’re dealing with elbow pain from racquet sports, CrossFit, or even long hours at a computer, you’re not alone. These conditions are increasingly common across Austin—and if cortisone injections haven’t worked, it may be time to explore a safer, more effective solution.
Despite the names, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow aren’t limited to athletes. These injuries stem from repetitive stress, causing microtears and degeneration in the tendons around the elbow.
These conditions are especially prevalent in Austin, where an active lifestyle and growing interest in racquet sports and functional fitness are on the rise.
If you’ve been diagnosed with golfer’s elbow or tennis elbow, you’ve probably tried:
While some of these options offer temporary relief, repeated cortisone injections come with hidden risks.
Cortisone shots are designed to reduce inflammation—but they don’t actually heal the tendon. Over time, repeated injections can weaken the tendon, increasing your risk of tendon rupture and delaying true recovery.
If your first cortisone injection didn’t help or the pain keeps coming back, don’t double down. Consider a regenerative, long-term option like PRP therapy in Austin.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s natural healing properties to regenerate damaged tendon tissue. Here’s how it works:
The result? Growth factors are delivered exactly where they’re needed, accelerating true tendon healing—without surgery or synthetic drugs.
| Feature | PRP Therapy | Cortisone Injections |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Stimulates actual tendon healing | Masks symptoms temporarily |
| Effect on tissue | Strengthens and repairs tendon | Can weaken tendon with repeated use |
| Risk of tendon rupture | Low | Higher risk with multiple injections |
| Duration of relief | Long-term improvement | Often short-lived relief |
If you’ve had elbow pain for more than 6 weeks and conservative care hasn’t worked, or you’re looking to avoid surgery and the risks of cortisone injections, PRP therapy at our Austin clinic could be your next step.
