Tendon injections may be right for you
if you have:
Rest and physical therapy treat tendinopathy around the tendon. Injection treats it inside.
Tendinopathy involves structural changes within the tendon fiber itself — disorganized collagen, neovascularization, and degenerative zones that don't respond to loading alone. Ultrasound-guided injection delivers treatment precisely to the pathological zone, whether that's peritendinous inflammation (steroid) or intratendinous degeneration (PRP).
- Ultrasound visualizes the exact pathological zone before any needle is placed
- Peritendinous steroid for acute tendonitis; intratendinous PRP for chronic tendinopathy
- PRP stimulates growth factor release that promotes structural collagen repair
- No landmark injections — every needle placement is imaged in real time
Our approach: ultrasound guidance visualizes the pathological zone before every injection, with an accuracy landmark-based technique can’t match.
