Tendonitis

Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Tendons are the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. This condition causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint. Tendonitis can affect all ages. Although, you become more susceptible as you get older because your tendons are less flexible and more prone to injury.

While tendinitis can occur in any of your tendons, it's most common around your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels.

Some common types of tendinitis are:

• Tennis elbow
• Golfer's elbow
• Pitcher's shoulder
• Swimmer's shoulder
• Jumper's knee

At Genesis Integrative Medicine, we offer a range of treatments to help patients find relief from tendonitis, a condition that causes inflammation and pain in the tendons. 

One of the most effective and more recent state-of-the-art treatments for tendonitis is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

PRP therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses a patient's own platelets to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the affected tendon. This therapy involves taking a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the resulting solution into the affected tendon. PRP therapy is a safe and effective option for patients dealing with conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or patellar tendonitis.

Shockwave treatment is a non-invasive therapy that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected area. This therapy can promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of healthy tissue in the affected tendon. Shockwave treatment is a safe and effective option for patients dealing with conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or Achilles tendonitis.

Cold laser treatment is a non-invasive therapy that uses low-level laser energy to stimulate healing in the affected area. This therapy can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote the growth of healthy tissue in the affected tendon. Cold laser treatment is a safe and effective option for patients dealing with conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or Achilles tendonitis.

Our experienced medical professionals will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs, helping you find relief from tendonitis and get back to your daily activities with ease.
