Swinging Recovery: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow, known medically as medial epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury characterized by pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump (medial epicondyle) on the inside of the elbow. Despite its name, this condition can affect individuals engaged in various activities that involve repetitive wrist and hand motions, such as golfing, throwing, and racket sports. While conventional treatments like rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications are often prescribed, some individuals seek alternative therapies like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for long-term relief.
