Las Vegas Tennis Elbow Pain Solution

Pain on the outside of your elbow? We treat overuse injuries at the root.

Elbow Pain That Won’t Quit? It Might Be Tennis Elbow

You don’t have to be a tennis player to suffer from “tennis elbow.” Whether it’s your backhand, your golf swing, or just lifting groceries—lateral elbow pain from overuse or strain can disrupt everything from workouts to workdays.

The frustrating part? Most people with tennis elbow get stuck in a loop: rest, cortisone, therapy… repeat. And still, the pain flares up every time they try to be active again.

At Ortho Las Vegas, we break that cycle by addressing the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics, regenerative orthobiologic options, and orthopedic surgical expertise to help you heal faster—and stay active longer.

What Is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a tendon condition caused by repetitive stress at the outer elbow. It commonly affects:

  • Tennis players

  • Pickleball & racquet sport athletes

  • Golfers

  • Weightlifters

  • Manual laborers

  • Office workers with heavy mouse/keyboard use

  • What starts as irritation of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon can progress to chronic degeneration and tearing, leading to persistent pain with gripping, lifting, or wrist extension.

Symptoms of
Tennis Elbow 

  • Pain on the outer (lateral) elbow

  • Pain with gripping, lifting, twisting, or typing

  • Weak grip strength

  • Tenderness near the bony prominence of the elbow

  • Worsens with activity, improves with rest—but always returns

If you’re modifying workouts or avoiding daily tasks because of elbow pain, it’s time for a smarter plan.

Why Conventional Treatments Often Fall Short

You’ve likely tried ice, rest, anti-inflammatories, or even physical therapy. These may help early on—but once degeneration sets in, you need more than Band-Aids.

Cortisone shots? They may temporarily relieve inflammation, but they don’t fix the damaged tendon—and may even weaken it over time. 

Our team focuses on treatments that restore tissue health, not just reduce inflammation. That’s where orthobiologics like PRP and BMC come in.

How Ortho Las Vegas Treats
Tennis Elbow 

Your treatment plan is based on advanced diagnostics—not guesswork. Depending on the severity of your condition, we may recommend:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Our lab-prepared PRP uses your body’s own concentrated platelets to stimulate repair of the damaged tendon fibers. We inject PRP precisely under ultrasound guidance to the affected site for optimal healing.

Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC)

For more advanced tendon degeneration or patients who’ve failed previous treatments, BMC delivers potent regenerative cells directly to the site—accelerating healing and improving outcomes.

Percutaneous Tenotomy or Tenex

Minimally invasive procedures that break up scar tissue and remove damaged tendon fibers using high-frequency ultrasound energy.

Surgical Options

For rare cases with full tendon tears or failed conservative care, Dr. McGee can perform minimally invasive surgical repair or tendon debridement, often enhanced with biologic augmentation.

Are You a Candidate for Tennis Elbow Treatment?

You might benefit from orthobiologic treatment if:

  • You’ve had pain for more than 6–8 weeks

  • Your symptoms are limiting daily life or sports

  • Therapy or cortisone hasn’t worked

  • Imaging shows tendon degeneration

  • You’re seeking a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime

FAQ: Tennis Elbow Treatment at Ortho Las Vegas

How long does PRP take to work for tennis elbow

Most patients begin noticing improvements within 4–6 weeks, with full benefits over 3–6 months.

PRP and BMC are typically not covered, but we provide a detailed cost breakdown and financing options. Surgery usually is.

Light activity is often encouraged during recovery, but we’ll tailor your plan to your activity level.

Cortisone may reduce pain, but PRP actually promotes healing. PRP has better long-term success rates for tendon injuries.

Surgery is a last resort and only recommended for severe tears or when other treatments fail. Our goal is to help you avoid it entirely.
