Musculoskeletal Disorders
Stem Cell Therapy for Elbow Disorder
Targeted regenerative injections for chronic elbow injuries such as tennis/golfer's elbow.
What is a Elbow Injury?
Elbow disorders include any injury or medical condition that affects the normal function of this flexible joint. The team specializes in treating all types of elbow disorders, including:
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a nerve condition that occurs from the compression of the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel in your elbow. With cubital tunnel syndrome, you may have numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand, fingers, or forearm.
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, occurs from overuse of the muscles and tendons in the forearm and elbow. This condition primarily affects the lateral epicondyle, the tendon on the outside of your elbow.
Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, causes pain on the inside of the elbow that radiates to the wrist. Like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow is an overuse injury that causes inflammation of the tendon.
Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa sacs that act as a cushion between the soft tissue and bones in the elbow.
Elbow fractures require expert orthopaedic care, including surgical interventions to keep the bones in place during the healing process.
Dislocation of the elbow joint, also known as a nursemaid's elbow, is a common elbow disorder that may loosen the ligaments that hold the joint in place.
What causes a Elbow Injury?
Elbow Disorders involve conditions that impact the body's musculoskeletal system, including muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These injuries are highly prevalent and are the most common form of injury globally. The primary causes include:
- Aging: Wear and tear naturally occur over time, leading to degeneration.
- Accidental Damage: Repetitive movements, poor posture, and heavy lifting can cause injury.
- Lifestyle Factors: A lack of physical fitness and unhealthy dietary habits contribute to Elbow injuries.
What are the symptoms of Elbow Disorders?
There are several types of elbow disorders, each with distinct symptoms and causes. The most common include:
1. Medial Epicondylitis: Also known as golfer's elbow, it causes pain on the inner side of the elbow.
2. Lateral Epicondylitis: Known as tennis elbow, it presents as pain or burning along the outside of the elbow and can affect grip strength
3. Olecranon Bursitis: This condition involves swelling, pain, and difficulty moving the elbow.
4. Osteoarthritis: Symptoms include pain, difficulty bending the elbow, a locking sensation, a grating sound during movement, and swelling.
5. Ligament Strain and Sprains: Symptoms include pain, joint instability, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
6. Dislocation or Fracture: Signs include visible changes to the elbow, inability to move the joint, and severe pain.
7. Osteochondritis Dissecans: This condition is characterized by pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, difficulty extending the arm, and a sensation that the joint is locking.
How are Elbow Disorders commonly treated?
Treatment for elbow disorders depends on the diagnosis and severity of symptoms. We customize your treatment plan to ensure you get the best results.
Treatment for elbow disorders may include:
1. Medications: Prescription medications are often necessary for treating severe pain, as over-the-counter NSAIDs may be insufficient.
2. Physical therapy: using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, heat and cold therapy, therapeutic ultrasound to the muscles of the connective tissue, and other myofascial release methods can effectively relieve pain
3. Complementary therapies: shiatsu, yoga, and chiropractic can relieve elbow discomfort
4. When necessary, your doctor may recommend surgery to treat your elbow disorder.
Understanding these symptoms and treatment options can help manage elbow disorders and maintain spinal health effectively.
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy leverages the body's natural repair processes to treat damaged tissues. Stem cells, which are found in fat cells and bone marrow, are particularly effective in this context. Mesenchymal stem cells, often sourced from donor cord blood, are commonly used for therapeutic purposes.
When stem cells are introduced to an area of damage, they can stimulate the growth of new, healthy cells, enhancing the body's ability to heal itself. This therapy boosts the body's repair mechanisms and provides an influx of new stem cells to promote recovery and regeneration.
Advances in Stem Cell Therapy for elbow Injuries
Research and discoveries in stem cell therapy are paving the way for improved non-pharmacologic treatment options for pain related to elbow injuries (MSIs). These treatments have the potential to reduce the need for repeated drug administration, offering long-term benefits that enhance patient satisfaction and decrease healthcare costs.
Stem cell therapy presents promising and innovative solutions for managing elbow pain. Stem cells generate and release a variety of growth factors and other cell regulators that help minimize damage and improve pain conditions. By introducing these advanced stem cells, the therapy can establish new, healthy cells to replace damaged ones, promoting healing and recovery.

Autoimmune Disorders Affecting the Elbow
Elbow immune response issues arise when antibodies or immune cells mistakenly attack the body's own cells, leading to autoimmune disorders. Many autoimmune diseases affect structures such as connective tissues, cartilage, and bones, which are integral to the elbow system.
Connective tissues are crucial for the proper functioning of the musculoskeletal system, providing support and structure to the body's framework.
The most common autoimmune disorder affecting the elbow is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease that targets joints, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and inflammation. Affected joints may appear red, hot, rigid, and tender.
Other autoimmune disorders that can affect the elbow include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Psoriatic Arthritis
- Elbow Bursitis
- Lupus-Related Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Epicondylitis
- Olecranon Bursitis
These conditions can cause significant pain and impairment, highlighting the need for effective diagnosis and treatment.
How is the treatment at The Renue Medical Centre different?
The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Centre is a holistic approach to treating Musculoskeletal Problems.
Your Renue Journey treatment for Elbow Repair with Stem Cells consists of four phases:
Pre-treatment: You will take our Renue Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics that will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs. chronological). After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.
Treatment day: On the treatment day, a specific amount of blood is taken through apheresis to activate the stem cells for administration. A total of 25 million umbilical cord-mesenchymal Stem Cells are inserted through the IV route.
30, 60 & 90 days follow-up: To check for flare-up frequency, improvements, pain, and irritation.
Six months after treatment: Lab tests, flare-up frequency, clinical evaluation, mobility, quality of life, and prognosis
Expected results: benefits and outcomes
SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes
The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.
As part of The Renue Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to treat MSIs in the Elbow. These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.
According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help
Reduce MSIs progression
Speed up tissue repair
Regrow and repair tissues after six months
After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.
Talk to our Patient Advisor to learn more about SCT at The Renue Centre.
Expected results and prognosis:
Several forms of elbow pain caused by traumas, including ruptured tendons or ligaments, fractured elbow bones, or an elbow sprain, have been effectively treated with Stem Cell Therapy.
However, the prognosis of Stem Cell Therapy consists of three phases:
In the first week after therapy, patients feel an instant reduction in pain, rigidity, and inflammation.
With stem cell therapy, the patient's mobility of the affected elbow will improve in the next couple of months.. Pain-related to mobility and movement will also reduce to a great extent.
Finally, in 6-months, cellular changes will start regenerating new cells, mobilize damaged cells, and improve the condition. A patient can get independence due to full gain of range of motion.
What are the risk factors of stem cell therapy for musculoskeletal injuries and conditions?
The FDA-approved Stem Cell Therapy has a very low rate of risks and side effects.
Whereas some common side effects observed after receiving Stem Cell Therapy are infection at the site of injection, sore throat, vomiting, nausea, and inflammation. There are a few rare but serious risks related to Stem Cell Therapy, including bleeding and implantation failure.
Management of Risks
Risk factors associated with Stem Cell Therapy are already very low and rare. In cases where patients show side effects, conservative management is always helpful. In case of infections and inflammation, over-the-counter medications can help improve side effects. Preoperative care and patient record also play a vital role in managing and minimizing risk factors beforehand.
Stem Cells Therapy has a great potential to be more effective for treating Musculoskeletal Injuries than previous methods and carries less risk. SCT has a great potential to emerge as one solution to all human body problems.
All the treatment options for Musculoskeletal Injuries have been temporary options for just treating the symptoms. With the invention of Stem Cells Replacement Therapy, hopes and prognosis of the disease treatment have been raised. It has the potential to be more effective than previous methods and also carries less risk.
