Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

for Tennis Elbow

PRP injections deliver concentrated growth factors to the lateral epicondyle tendon, potentially stimulating repair in chronic tennis elbow resistant to other treatments.

How it works

Concentrated growth factors (PDGF, TGF-ÎČ, VEGF) stimulate tenocyte proliferation and new collagen synthesis at the degenerative tendon attachment.

What to watch for

Evidence is mixed — some positive RCTs but overall inconsistent results. Expensive and not PBS-funded. Most appropriate for chronic cases resistant to 3–6 months of conservative management. Must be combined with loading exercise.
