How PRP may help
PRP is injected near the painful tendon to deliver concentrated platelets and growth-factor signaling to an area with limited healing capacity. It is usually paired with a gradual strengthening and return-to-activity plan.
Evidence note
Evidence is mixed but includes randomized research in lateral epicondylitis. A 2-year randomized trial reported ongoing benefit of PRP compared with corticosteroid injection for chronic lateral epicondylitis. Gosens et al., 2011
When to schedule
Schedule if outside-elbow pain affects gripping, lifting, work, tennis, throwing, or daily activity.
