Elbow Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid)

Experience effective relief for elbow pain with targeted joint injections at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Elbow Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Are

Elbow joint injections are a treatment that involves injecting steroids, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or hyaluronic acid into the elbow joint to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate pain.

Treatment Description

This procedure targets the elbow joint to provide pain relief and improve function. Steroid injections reduce inflammation, PRP promotes tissue healing, and hyaluronic acid improves joint lubrication. It is used for both acute and chronic elbow conditions.

What It Includes

The procedure involves the injection of corticosteroids, PRP, or hyaluronic acid into the elbow joint under imaging guidance (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) to ensure accurate placement. Sessions usually last 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Elbow Joint Injection (Steroid, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid) Used For?

Elbow joint injections are effective for treating conditions like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), elbow arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and post-surgical pain.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Reduces pain and inflammation in the tendons on the outside of the elbow, improving strength and reducing discomfort associated with tennis elbow.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Eases pain and inflammation in the tendons on the inside of the elbow, improving movement and reducing discomfort in the forearm and elbow.
Osteoarthritis
Alleviates pain and stiffness in the elbow joint caused by arthritis, improving mobility and reducing inflammation in the affected joint.
Bursitis
Provides relief from inflammation in the elbow bursa, reducing pain and swelling, and improving joint movement.
Post-Surgical Pain
Helps reduce pain and inflammation after elbow surgery, promoting recovery and improving mobility in the elbow joint.
Tendon Injuries
Reduces pain and promotes healing in elbow tendon injuries, such as tendonitis or tears, by providing regenerative benefits with PRP or hyaluronic acid.
Elbow Joint Degeneration
Eases discomfort and improves function in degenerative elbow conditions by reducing inflammation and providing lubrication to the joint.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Elbow Pain
Without elbow joint injections, chronic pain caused by inflammation or overuse injuries may remain unresolved, impacting daily tasks.
Reduced Range of Motion
Lack of treatment can lead to stiffness in the elbow joint, making it difficult to bend or extend the arm fully.
Prolonged Inflammation
Untreated joint inflammation may worsen, causing increased pain and further limiting elbow functionality.
Weakness in the Arm
Failure to manage elbow pain and inflammation can lead to muscle weakness, reducing grip strength and arm stability.
Risk of Chronic Joint Degeneration
Without timely intervention, joint conditions may progress to long-term damage, potentially requiring surgical treatments in the future.
