Platelet-rich plasma injection or PRP… The treatment involves one injection done under ultrasound guidance. After the injection is administered, it’s usually recommended that the patient rest for a few days before starting physical therapy. Once starting PT, we want the inflammation to continue for a week to 10 days, different than traditional tendonitis treatment.
Tendonitis can affect multiple areas: the Achilles, golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee and many more. Traditional therapy helps most cases, but when it is not getting better- this may be a great alternative to corticosteroids.
