What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause and extent of your tendonitis or bursitis. Our thorough diagnostic process includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging studies, such as X-rays or ultrasound, to provide a clear picture of the affected areas. Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include:

• Physical Therapy: Focused exercises and stretches to improve strength and flexibility. Our physical therapists work closely with you to develop an individualized exercise plan that progresses at your own pace, ensuring optimal results.
• Medication or Injections: Anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and swelling. For more persistent cases, we may also use regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes your body’s healing factors to promote tissue repair.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on modifying activities that might aggravate the condition. This may include ergonomic adjustments at work, changes in exercise routines, or modifications in daily activities to reduce strain on the affected area.
• Advanced Procedures: Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or minimally invasive surgery may be recommended in severe cases. Our surgical team specializes in minimally invasive techniques that reduce downtime and promote faster healing, allowing you to return to normal activities with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How long does recovery take? Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition and the treatment chosen. Many patients begin to feel relief within a few weeks of starting therapy, but full recovery may take several months, especially if lifestyle changes are needed to prevent re-injury.
