Non-Surgical Elbow Pain Treatment in Manchester and Glasgow
Ortho Remedy Clinic treats tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, bursitis and elbow osteoarthritis without surgery, using PRP and regenerative therapies at our Manchester and Glasgow clinics. Treatment is provided by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Armughan Azhar and aims to reduce pain and restore full use of the arm.
Elbow Conditions We Treat
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Tennis elbow causes pain on the outer side of the elbow, often triggered by repetitive gripping or wrist movements, whether from sport, manual work or everyday tasks. PRP is one of the most effective regenerative treatments for this tendon condition, targeting the damaged tissue directly.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner side of the elbow from repetitive strain on the forearm tendons. Regenerative treatment reduces inflammation and supports tendon repair, easing pain during gripping and lifting.
Elbow Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis in the elbow causes stiffness, swelling and a grinding sensation during movement. Regenerative treatment aims to reduce inflammation and preserve joint function without surgery.
Elbow Bursitis
Bursitis is inflammation of the fluid-filled sac at the tip of the elbow, causing swelling and tenderness. Guided injections target this inflammation directly, often providing fast relief.
Post-Injury Elbow Pain
Ongoing elbow pain following a fall, dislocation or previous injury can often be eased with regenerative treatment, even where the original injury happened some time ago.
Elbow Pain Treatment For Long-lasting Results And Enhanced Quality Of Life
What Is It?
The majority of elbow pain is caused by a simple cause and disappears within a few days. Soft tissues, such as tendons, that are strained or inflamed, are commonly the source of pain. You can normally treat this problem at home with over-the-counter treatment for elbow pain medicines and a few days of rest, and you may not even need to see a specialist. It is crucial not to rest for an extended period of time since lack of movement may lead your joint to stiffen and the muscles supporting your elbow to deteriorate, increasing the probability of later illnesses. Simple exercises and treatments for elbow discomfort can assist in lessening the likelihood of future difficulties. Elbow pain and inflammation arises as a result of repetitive elbow use, as in the situation of tennis players and sportsmen, although it is not limited to them.
Traditional elbow pain treatment and therapies, such as steroid injections, can relieve inflammation by injuring neighboring tissues, while elbow procedures have several problems, including infection, severe pain due to invasiveness, nerve damage, tissue damage, and so much more. However, at Ortho Remedy, we provide minimally invasive non-surgical regenerative therapies and elbow pain treatment that can heal the damaged region and regenerate new tissues, relieving pain and increasing elbow functioning. Because this treatment for elbow pain uses cells generated from your own body, there is no chance of rejection. Regenerative elbow pain treatments may be a viable alternative to elbow surgeries.

What Causes It?
The majority of elbow pain is triggered by stressed or inflamed soft tissues like tendons or ligaments. These usually heals and improves after a few days of simple self-care at home. Elbow pain can occasionally be caused by a medical condition. One of the various illnesses that might cause elbow discomfort is arthritis. Arthritis simply refers to a tight and swollen joint, and there are other forms of arthritis. Stiffness can occur due to issues with the elbow joint directly or with the muscles, joint cover, or tendons. In some scenarios, such as after an accident or surgery, soft tissue can transform into scar tissue. This can result in elbow stiffness. The elbow may sometimes freeze in a fixed posture. This is usually temporary, although it might be caused by a loose piece of bone or cartilage in the joint. Among the various factors that may lead to elbow injury are:
- A lack of forearm muscular strength or mobility
- A lack of shoulder muscular strength
- The destabilisation of the elbow joint
- An ineffective method used in sports (most notably tennis and golf) that places excessive strain on the elbow joint.
- Wrong sporting equipment, such as using a heavy tennis racquet or a grip that is improperly placed on a tennis ball or golf club
- Performing on an assembly line, for example, necessitates repetitive hand and arm actions.
- Constantly subjecting the muscles and joints to excessive loads.
- Additional issues, such as neck pain or nerve irritability.

Our Elbow Treatment Options
PRP is the primary regenerative treatment for tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, injected directly into the damaged tendon to stimulate repair. Guided injections are used for bursitis and more localised inflammation, with ultrasound ensuring accurate placement. For elbow osteoarthritis, treatment is tailored to the severity of joint wear and may include a combination of approaches.
What Conditions Do We Treat Here?
We here at Ortho Remedy offer long-lasting, pain-free regenerative elbow pain treatments in Manchester for the following elbow conditions.
Elbow Ostheoarthritis
Elbow osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage layer of the elbow wears away or is injured. This can occur due to past trauma such as an elbow displacement or breakage. It just grinds away over time. Your joint loses its smooth cushion, making simple movements like grabbing a mug feel incredibly stiff. You might hear or feel clicking. Bone rubs on bone, causing dull aches that do not want to quit. Regenerative therapies can target this worn zone to encourage tissue health helping you bypass major surgeries and get back to your day without constant throbbing.
Elbow Bursitis
Elbow bursitis affects the olecranon bursa, a thin fluid-filled sac near the Boney point of the elbow (the olecranon). Think of it like a little fluid pillow that suddenly got mad and ballooned up. When it gets irritated from too much leaning or a hard knock, fluid builds up fast. It can look like a weird, puffy ball right on the tip of your joint. It hurts to touch and leaning on a table becomes impossible. Our treatments work to calm this specific pouch down, lowering the swelling naturally so you can bend your arm without feeling that tight, angry pressure.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, also termed as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful elbow ailment induced by overuse. Tennis and other racquet activities, unsurprisingly, can induce this disease. But you do not even have to play sports to get it. Typing painting or lifting tools repeatedly strains the tendons on the outer part of your arm. The pain radiates down your forearm, making a simple handshake or twisting a doorknob surprisingly miserable. Regenerative options focus right on these tiny frayed tendon tears kickstarting raw recovery without requiring surgical knives or months of frustrating downtime.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow, also referred to as medial epicondylitis or epicondylopathy, is a disorder that produces pain on the inner bony region of the elbow that can spread down into the forearms. It is the close cousin of tennis elbow, just living on the inside edge instead. Repetitive gripping, wrist flexing, or swinging forcefully yanks on these specific muscle attachments. The ache can make carrying grocery bags or lifting your kids a massive chore. By using targeted cellular treatments, we help these specific inner tendons patch themselves up, restoring your grip strength so you can lift things normally again.
The BMAC Procedure For Elbow Pain Treatment
BMAC is collected through an outpatient procedure in which a small quantity of the patient’s bone marrow is extracted from the back of the pelvis under local anesthetic to reduce pain. The marrow is then centrifuged to extract a concentration of stem cells, subsequently injected into the patient’s injured elbow tissue to stimulate recovery.
This process concentrates your own natural healing cells to address the joint wear and tendon damage directly inside the arm. The procedure requires little downtime and patients usually experience soreness at the puncture site for two or three days. Anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin should be resisted at least two weeks after the surgery since they may interfere with healing. To expedite recovery, patients should follow up with a brief physical therapy term. Within six to eight weeks of the surgery, the full effect should be experienced.
