Partial UCL Tear

Hi, has anyone had success using an M1 to recover from UCL tear? My 16 year old, baseball pitcher son was just diagnosed with a high-grade partial tear and I’m contemplating between PRP and stem cells for treatment along with some different devices (PEMF, redlight, hyperbaric chamber, etc). I was highly recommended to use a “Shockwave” device which a PT I know claims to be getting amazing results, including healing ACL tears without surgery. I forgot about my M1 for a while but figured it could be worth a shot as well.

Lastly, is there concern using any PEMF device near the elbow joint with open growth plates?

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

We have experience with PRP, infrared/redlight, 1.3ata hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and ICES PEMF. All of them would boost the conditions for the body to accelerate recovery. We use ICES PEMF on joints for kids when there are injuries - they are in competitive sports - and haven’t seen any issues with growth.
