Elbow Pain Treatment Denver
What Is Elbow Embolization?
If you’re tired of living with persistent elbow pain from conditions like Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow, elbow artery embolization may be the solution you’ve been searching for. This advanced, minimally invasive procedure is designed for chronic elbow pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
A joint pain doctor will use a tiny catheter, usually inserted through your wrist, to map the blood vessels in your elbow. He will look for areas with abnormal blood vessel growth, a condition called hypervascularity, which is a major source of ongoing inflammation and pain. Using tiny, dissolvable particles, the procedure gently blocks the abnormal vessels causing pain: reducing inflammation and restoring comfort while keeping normal circulation intact.
This treatment is ideal for patients who have been suffering from elbow pain for three to six months or more and are looking for an alternative to surgery. The procedure typically takes about 60-90 minutes, and you can go home the same day.
Symptoms of Chronic Elbow Pain
- Pain on the outside (Tennis Elbow) or inside (Golfer’s Elbow) of your elbow, especially when gripping or lifting
- Discomfort when bending or straightening your wrist against resistance
- Morning stiffness and tenderness around the elbow
- Reduced grip strength or a feeling of fatigue in your forearm
- Pain that shoots down into your forearm or wrist
- Pain that worsens with repetitive tasks (typing, tools, racquet sports)
- Symptoms persisting 3–6 months that haven’t improved with physical therapy, bracing, or injections
How is Chronic Elbow Pain Treated
Your treatment journey at ECCO Medical starts with a focus on non-surgical care. This often includes modifying your activities, wearing a brace, and performing specific strengthening exercises. We may also recommend anti-inflammatory medications or targeted injections.
When the pain doesn’t go away, elbow artery embolization offers a next-generation solution. This procedure gets to the root of the problem by targeting the abnormal blood vessels that fuel the inflammation in your elbow. By selectively blocking these vessels, we can calm the pain and help you heal.
Because the procedure is performed through a tiny incision and uses dissolvable materials, recovery is quick. Many patients are back to their normal routines in just a day or two and can gradually return to more demanding activities over the next couple of weeks.
