Efficacy of Injections and Personalized Rehabilitation in Tendinopathy
This chapter examines the effectiveness of injections, particularly platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and steroid treatments, for tendinopathy, revealing the limited long-term benefits of PRP and the transient relief from steroid injections. It highlights the complexity of managing tendon pain and emphasizes the necessity of patient-centered care and personalized rehabilitation strategies that consider individual responses to treatment. The discussion also explores the significance of tendon stiffness, proper loading, and the interplay between structural assessments and pain perception in designing effective treatment plans.
