Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for Tendonitis

Tendonitis is a common condition that affects the joints. It is a problem associated with constant, repetitive movements performed in sports and work-related tasks. Baseball pitchers and golf enthusiasts experience varying tendonitis, depending on how long they’ve played.

PRP injections are a regenerative medicine treatment that uses a concentrated form of a patient's blood to promote healing and tissue repair. These injections commonly treat musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, by delivering a high concentration of growth factors and bioactive proteins to the affected area. At West Knoxville Medical and Chiropractic in Knoxville, TN, PRP therapy treats the condition at its source and rejuvenates the injured tissue.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis occurs from repetitive movements that inflame and injure joint tendons. Tendonitis can occur in any joint and normally responds to extended rest and anti-inflammatory medications. Over time, the condition will worsen if it isn't sufficiently treated. PRP injections are proven to effectively treat tendonitis in several points of the body.

Why PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses the body's platelets and plasma to elicit a healing response. By withdrawing blood and condensing the number of platelets, our chiropractor puts numerous growth factors and red blood cells in the exact area where healing must occur.

PRP Injections and Chiropractic Care

PRP injections use the body's materials to support the healing process. No invasive procedures are needed, and the recovery time is much shorter than invasive surgery. Chiropractic care and its many treatment options help the body stay balanced. This treatment hastens the healing process and sports injury recovery.
