Are your joints making you uncomfortable? Do you feel pain or irritation when you try to move your elbows, wrists, knees, or feet? If so, you may have tendonitis pain.
At PRP Treatment Beverly Hills, we offer a range of treatments that include therapy and relief for tendonitis. Below, we’ll discuss some of the best ways that you can start getting help for your tendonitis pain. It’s time to stop suffering from the effects of this inflammatory joint condition.
Starting at Home
Depending on the severity and magnitude of your tendonitis pain symptoms, you can actually start finding some treatments at home. According to Cleveland Clinic, the best way to indulge in home treatment is to take some over-the-counter medicines that can treat inflammation while being gentle with your joints.
In many cases, there are certain motions which may irritate the tendonitis or make the symptoms feel worse. Spend some time identifying which motions make you feel pain. Try to keep yourself from making those motions for a while.
Engaging in Physical Therapy
If a few weeks of self-care at home with ibuprofen and ice packs don’t seem to do the trick, then your symptoms are probably more severe. In this case, we recommend that you look for a physical therapist to help treat your pain. A licensed physical therapist can recommend different treatments and physical exercise methods. These may work to reduce your pain and inflammation.
Physical therapy is highly recommended by medical authority groups like Mayo Clinic due to its rates of success. If your tendonitis is a rare extreme case, you may also need to work with a doctor to invest in a surgical procedure to repair your tendons.

Using Cortisone Injections
A common treatment a doctor might prescribe if your symptoms won’t go away is a cortisone shot. This works to offer you relief from pain and tension for a short amount of time.
However, it’s important to know that cortisone injections do not serve as an actual treatment, but rather as a band-aid to mask your recurring tendonitis pain. If you are looking for a procedure that can drastically reduce symptoms and get rid of your pain, PRP injections can help your body repair itself from the inside out, eventually eliminating the need for medical intervention altogether.
What are PRP Injections?
PRP injections are also called platelet-rich plasma injections, and they are becoming more widely used for the treatment of a large number of conditions which include tendonitis as well as acne and facial pain.
Our PRP therapy treatments are simple and recommended to reduce the severity of your symptoms and discomfort. This restorative treatment is completed using the following steps:
- Our physicians extract some blood from your body in order to obtain your plasma-rich proteins. Your blood is returned to your body after the proteins are successfully separated.
- After this 30-minute session, the physicians prepare the injection and inject it into an affected area of your tendonitis.
- Some patients may experience symptom improvement after treatment, but response, timing, and the number of sessions vary by diagnosis and individual factors.
PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood and has been studied for selected tendon disorders. Evidence varies by tendon, diagnosis, chronicity, and protocol, and PRP should not be presented as a guaranteed way to repair damaged tendons.
