As an orthopaedic sports medicine specialist, I have been treating patients with severe tendon problems for over 20 years. Many doctors do not want to deal with people who have chronic or recurring tendonitis because these are extremely frustrating conditions for both the patient and the physician.
Some doctors do not want to invest the amount of time and energy required to treat these difficult problems. They do not have effective, long-lasting solutions, and they say that there is no way to successfully treat these degenerative conditions.
I strongly disagree, and I have many satisfied patients who have undergone successful treatment for the worst cases of tendonitis affecting the shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, and foot.
Over the last 20 years, I have learned and perfected surgical techniques that have a very high success rate for severe, chronic, or recurring tendonitis, including tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, jumper’s knee, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and shoulder impingement syndrome. I have performed surgery on high-level athletes who have returned to competition without pain.
However, there are many people who are not being treated because they want to avoid surgery or their doctor has told them that surgery doesn’t work. For those people who want to try all non-surgical treatment options, I now offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection Treatments.
PRP is a promising non-surgical treatment for painful tendon conditions and soft tissue injuries. I have seen dramatic improvement in many patients since I began using this technique. I have been receiving calls from patients, physical therapists, and other practitioners asking about PRP, and so I set up this website to answer the questions: “What Is PRP?” and “Why Use Platelet Rich Plasma?”
