Procedures We Offer For Elbow Pain Treatment In Houston, TX

The treatment options depend on the type and severity of your condition. If the issue is mild, we may start with conservative measures (such as splints or heat/ice packs) and medications to improve your symptoms. In severe cases, we will discuss surgical options.

  • Physiotherapy
    Physiotherapy includes various exercises that can strengthen your elbow joint and reduce stiffness. These targeted exercises can also help people recover from elbow injuries or fractures. Through a consistent routine, you will notice a drastic improvement in your elbow pain.
  • Steroid Injections
    In case of severe pain or inflammation of the elbow joint, we may recommend corticosteroid injections. They are particularly helpful for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
    PRP injections are an advanced technique that greatly helps improve the symptoms of tennis and golfer’s elbow. We will take a sample of your blood and process it to extract the platelet-rich plasma. It is injected into the affected joint for pain reduction and enhanced movement.
  • Surgery
    Severe cases of elbow pain may require surgical intervention. There are different types of elbow surgery, including elbow joint replacement and elbow arthroscopy. Our orthopedists will discuss the most effective treatment options to improve your elbow joint function.

The staff is very professional and friendly. Dr. Cusick takes his time in explaining and going over any issues or concerns. Have not done much since the shoulder surgery for two months but I have not experienced ANY PAIN.

This is Iva Phillips. Very helpful visit today. Will be starting Therapy. Dr. Cusick took time to explain my problem and ways to try to prevent surgery.

Gilmer Phillips

Dr Cusick and his aide were very helpful with their assessment of my problem. They gave me alternative solutions to consider and showed me X-rays of my shoulder. I was surprised that we got in after a short wait. They took several X-rays and counseled with me in a very efficient manner. I was in and out in much less time than I had anticipated!

Jack Roland

AMAZING! Dr Cusick listened to me talk about my symptoms and pain. He talked to me rather than just look at my images. Later, he explained the images to me and together we agreed on a plan Of Action. 10/10

Peffley Nazlin

Thank you for a pleasant experience! The front office staff as well as the medical staff made me feel like family. They answered all my questions and I didn't feel rushed. The wait time was also less than 5 minutes of my scheduled appointment.

Robert Peeler

If this surgery is a little frightening, I understand. I interviewed doctors until I was satisfied that the one I chose was right for me. The pain and restriction of movement in my left shoulder was debilitating. Dr. Michael Cusick is totally committed to his trade. Complete total reverse shoulder replacement.

Kyle Powell

Don't get me wrong there was hiccups and waiting to have surgery seemed like forever but Dr. Cusick, his office staff and the hospital staff especially has been amazing. They went above and beyond to get my surgery approved so we wouldn't have to put it off longer. Dr. Cusick keeps a positive outlook even at times...

Kathy Zenker
