Regenerative Therapy for Overuse Injuries & Tendonitis

What Are Overuse Injuries?

Overuse injuries occur when repetitive motion or stress exceeds the body’s ability to

heal, often affecting muscles, tendons, and joints. Common examples include shin

splints, stress fractures, tendonitis, and bursitis. These injuries can develop

gradually and may be frustratingly slow to recover with traditional treatments.

Tendonitis Explained

Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, the tissue that connects muscle to bone.

Common types include:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Patellar tendonitis

  • Quad tendon tendonitis

  • Posterior tibial tendonitis

  • Peroneal tendonitis

  • Rotator Cuff tendonitis

Tendonitis causes pain, swelling, and weakness, and can limit performance or daily

activities.

How Regenerative Medicine Helps

PRP and stem cell therapy use your body’s own cells to:

  • Reduce or eliminate pain

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Promote tendon and tissue repair

  • Restore strength and function

  • Help patients return to activity faster

These treatments are safe and non-surgical, with low risk of complications. Many

patients achieve long-lasting relief and improved mobility.

Who Can Benefit

Patients with repetitive stress injuries or tendonitis from sports, work, or daily activities

may benefit. Those with chronic or stubborn symptoms, or those who want to avoid

surgery, are often ideal candidates.

1. Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow

Pain on the outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golfer’s elbow) of the elbow from repetitive

motions.

Regenerative treatments reduce inflammation, repair tendons, and restore strength

without surgery.

2. Achilles Tendonitis

Pain and inflammation in the tendon connecting the calf to the heel, often from running

or jumping.

PRP and stem cell therapy can accelerate tendon repair and reduce downtime.

3. Patellar Tendonitis

Inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, common in

basketball, volleyball, and running.

Regenerative medicine can reduce pain, promote healing, and restore mobility.

4. Other Tendon & Overuse Injuries

Includes shoulder tendonitis, rotator cuff overuse injuries, wrist or hand

tendonitis, and chronic repetitive strain injuries.

Stem cell therapy and PRP support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and restore

function.

How Regenerative Medicine Can Help

Stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use your body’s own healing power

to:

  • Reduce or eliminate pain

  • Reduce joint inflammation

  • Promote cartilage and tissue repair

  • Improve range of motion and function

  • Potentially delay or avoid surgery
