Persistent elbow pain and weakened grip strength from tennis elbow can make routine tasks painful. Soris Pain & Vascular Institute offers tennis elbow embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that targets the abnormal blood vessels feeding chronic inflammation around the lateral epicondyle.
Patients who have tried physical therapy and cortisone injections without lasting relief explore embolization at Soris as an outpatient alternative.
Tennis elbow produces a burning or aching pain on the outer elbow that can radiate into the forearm. Gripping objects, turning doorknobs, and shaking hands trigger or worsen the pain.
Grip weakness makes lifting coffee cups, opening jars, and carrying grocery bags difficult. The pain may persist at rest in advanced cases.
Repetitive wrist extension and gripping motions are the primary cause. Tennis players, manual laborers, plumbers, and office workers using a mouse are commonly affected.
Tennis elbow most frequently develops between ages 30 and 50. Both recreational athletes and sedentary workers with repetitive hand use are at risk.
Tennis Elbow Embolization blocks the abnormal micro-vessels that supply the inflamed tendon. Tiny particles delivered through a catheter in the wrist reduce blood flow to the pain-generating tissue.
The procedure takes about 60 minutes under local anesthesia. Patients leave the office the same day with minimal restrictions. Pain reduction typically begins within weeks as inflammation subsides.
Soris works with orthopedic and sports medicine specialists to ensure patients have pursued appropriate physical therapy, bracing, and anti-inflammatory treatment before considering embolization.
