Las Vegas Golfer’s Elbow Specialist Care

Get back to your swing—and daily function—with targeted treatment for medial elbow pain.

Is Elbow Pain Throwing Off Your Game?

Despite its name, golfer’s elbow doesn’t only affect golfers. Whether you’re gripping a club, hammering nails, lifting weights, or typing all day—pain on the inside of your elbow can become a serious problem. And once it sets in, it’s not just your performance that suffers—it’s your confidence, your sleep, and your daily routine.

At Ortho Las Vegas, we go beyond ice, rest, and cortisone. We target the actual cause of your pain with advanced diagnostics, regenerative medicine, and when needed, minimally invasive procedures to get you back in action—faster. 

What Is Golfer’s Elbow?

Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition caused by degeneration and overuse of the tendons that attach to the inner part of your elbow. It typically affects the flexor tendons that control wrist and finger movement. 

Who’s at risk? More than just golfers:

  • Weightlifters and CrossFit athletes

  • Rock climbers

  • Mechanics and construction workers

  • Baseball and softball players

  • Anyone with repetitive gripping, pulling, or wrist flexion

  • Pain may start small but can evolve into sharp, stabbing discomfort with any pressure or flexion at the elbow.

Signs You May Have Golfer’s Elbow

  • Pain or burning on the inside of the elbow

  • Discomfort when gripping, pulling, or turning doorknobs

  • Wrist weakness

  • Pain when flexing the wrist against resistance

  • Symptoms that worsen with activity and persist at rest

If you’ve been modifying your workouts, grip, or swing—or just avoiding certain tasks—don’t wait. We can help you resolve it before it worsens.

Why Cortisone Injections and Rest Aren’t Enough

Most patients come to us after trying the usual recommendations:

  • Rest

  • NSAIDs

  • Physical therapy

  • Cortisone shots

  • These may mask pain, but they don’t reverse tendon damage—and cortisone can actually weaken the tendon further over time.

    Ortho Las Vegas offers regenerative treatments that help your body repair the tissue—not just suppress the symptoms.

Treatment Options for Golfer’s Elbow at Ortho Las Vegas

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP uses a concentrated dose of your body’s own healing platelets, injected directly into the degenerated tendon under ultrasound guidance. Our PRP is custom-pr

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)

For severe tendon breakdown or long-standing medial epicondylitis, BMC delivers a potent blend of stem cells and growth factors to jumpstart healing when PRP alone isn’t enough.

Percutaneous Tenotomy / Tenex

A minimally invasive procedure that breaks up scar tissue and removes damaged tendon fibers using high-frequency ultrasound—ideal for chronic, treatment-resistant cases.

Surgical Repair (When Needed)

If there’s a full tendon tear or previous conservative treatments have failed, Dr. McGee may recommend minimally invasive tendon repair. In most cases, this is combined with biologics to reduce recovery time.

Who’s a Candidate for Treatment?

You’re likely a candidate if:

  • You’ve had elbow pain for 6+ weeks

  • The pain is centered on the inner elbow (not outer)

  • You feel weakness when gripping or lifting

  • Cortisone hasn’t helped—or made things worse

  • You want to avoid surgery and downtime

  • You need a real solution that works, not a temporary patch

Golfer’s Elbow FAQ

How long does PRP take to relieve golfer’s elbow pain?

Most patients feel a reduction in pain within 4–6 weeks, with continued healing over several months.

PRP treats the root cause by healing the tendon. Cortisone may provide temporary relief but can delay true healing and weaken tissue.

In most cases, no. We reserve surgery for full tendon tears or advanced degeneration that hasn’t responded to non-surgical care.

Usually, yes—with some temporary modifications. Our goal is to restore function while keeping you moving.

Surgery usually is. PRP and BMC typically aren’t, but we provide transparent pricing and payment options up front.
