Frequently asked questions

How long does tennis elbow take to heal?
Most cases resolve within 6-12 months with conservative treatment. However, some cases can be stubborn. PRP or surgery may be needed if symptoms persist.
Should I get a cortisone injection for tennis elbow?
Cortisone provides short-term relief but may actually slow long-term healing. PRP is now preferred for longer-lasting results without the risks of steroid.
