Tennis Elbow Treatment Options for Patients in Tampa, Clearwater & St. Petersburg, FL

Tennis Elbow Tampa FLKnown formally as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow is an irritation of the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow. The result is often elbow pain and soreness that worsens when squeezing or lifting an object, rendering simple activities like shaking hands or carrying groceries an uncomfortable experience. Thankfully for residents of the Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, Florida, area, the Board-certified physicians at Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group offer relief for this painful condition.

Although many tennis players are affected by tennis elbow at one point or another, you don’t have to compete in the U.S. Open to suffer from lateral epicondylitis. In fact, many individuals in Tampa Bay acquire this condition by simply performing everyday movements that involve the forearm muscle. Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group offers several types of non-surgical treatments that can reduce the pain and dysfunction associated with tennis elbow. These treatments include:

  • Cortisone injections
  • Platelet-rich plasma therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Mesenchymal stem cell therapy (an experimental treatment unrelated to embryonic stem cells)

Led by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine physician Dr. Arnold Ramirez, Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group can be your first choice for tennis elbow treatment. We merge innovative medical technologies with a conservative treatment approach to restore our patients’ wellbeing in the most convenient manner possible. Should your condition necessitate surgery, we’ll help you make an informed decision regarding your care and answer any questions you may have.
