What is Golfer’s Elbow Treatment?
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a condition that affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow, causing pain, stiffness, and weakness in the forearm. This overuse injury is common among athletes and individuals who perform repetitive gripping or wrist-flexing motions.

What to expect during golfer's elbow treatment
before treatment
Dr. Samagh, a leading sports medicine specialist in San Diego, will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical exam and imaging, to confirm medial epicondylitis and determine if PRP therapy is the best option for your golfer’s elbow.
during treatment
A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which contain powerful growth factors. The PRP is then injected directly into the affected tendon under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precision and effectiveness. This process stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.
recovery & rehabilitation
Most patients experience gradual pain relief within a few weeks as healing progresses. A personalized rehabilitation plan, including physical therapy and strengthening exercises, helps restore full elbow function while reducing the risk of re-injury. PRP therapy provides long-lasting relief without the need for surgery, allowing you to get back to your daily activities sooner.
