Tennis Elbow & Elbow Pain Treatment Without Surgery in Marbella

Tennis Elbow

Lateral Epicondylitis

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is caused by overuse and degeneration of the tendons attaching the forearm muscles to the outer elbow. It produces pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, often worsening with gripping, lifting or wrist extension. Despite its name, it commonly affects people who perform repetitive manual tasks — not just tennis players.

PRP therapy is one of the most clinically studied treatments for tennis elbow, with strong evidence supporting its ability to stimulate tendon repair and provide longer-lasting pain relief than cortisone injections. For many patients, PRP resolves the condition where other treatments have repeatedly failed.

Golfer's Elbow

Medial Epicondylitis

Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, causing pain, weakness and tenderness when gripping, twisting or flexing the wrist. It is common in manual labourers, golfers, climbers and racquet sports players. Like tennis elbow, it involves chronic tendon degeneration that responds well to PRP therapy — which directly supports tendon tissue repair rather than simply masking inflammation.

Elbow Arthritis

Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis

Degeneration or chronic inflammation in the elbow joint causes stiffness, swelling and difficulty fully extending or bending the arm. Elbow arthritis may develop from previous injuries, prolonged overuse or underlying inflammatory conditions. Orthobiologic treatments can help reduce joint inflammation, support cartilage health and improve range of motion without surgical intervention.

Olecranon Bursitis

Elbow Bursitis

Olecranon bursitis involves swelling of the bursa at the tip of the elbow, creating visible swelling and localised tenderness. It can result from prolonged pressure on the elbow, trauma or underlying inflammatory conditions. PRP therapy can help modulate the inflammatory response and support resolution of the condition without the need for aspiration or surgery.

Ligament Sprains

UCL & Lateral Ligament Injuries

Sprains or partial tears of the elbow ligaments — including the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) — cause instability, pain and difficulty carrying or gripping objects. These injuries are common in throwing athletes and following acute trauma. PRP therapy supports ligament repair by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the damaged tissue, promoting healing from within.
