The recently launched non-surgical treatment uses the patient's own blood to create a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) which is then injected into the patient's elbow, where it can work directly on the injury. By altering the composition of the PRP, the medical team can concentrate the body’s naturally beneficial growth factors, such as cytokines, and then redirect them to the injured area.

Experts believe that there are currently more than 5000 different techniques for producing PRP, with each generating unique combinations and concentrations. Though some clinics may offer generic PRP treatments, the MSK Doctors team believes that every patient's recovery can be optimized by using a highly individualized treatment plan.

While PRP is not a rapid cure for tennis elbow, research has shown that it can provide significant improvements over time. One double-blind study which measured patient pain responses found that while short-term results were comparable with or without the treatment, after several months patients who had received PRP showed significant improvement over the control group (1).

The medical team employs a variety of different methods for preparing PRP from a patient's blood sample based on the nature of their injury, and the exact combination may also vary from patient to patient. Though PRP injections are becoming a popular treatment for tennis elbow, they can also help a range of other conditions, such as osteoarthritis, shoulder injuries, and damaged ligaments.
