Tendon pain not improving? Understand the cause before treatment.

Tendon pain is common and often persistent. It can affect the Achilles, patellar tendon, or elbow (tennis/golfer’s elbow).

Symptoms

• Localised pain with activity

• Stiffness, especially in the morning

• Pain with loading (running, jumping, gripping)

How we assess tendon pain

A diagnostic ultrasound allows us to assess tendon structure, thickness, and changes associated with overload.

Injection treatments

Treatment depends on the stage and severity of tendon involvement.

Options may include:

• Guided loading programmes

• Shockwave therapy

• Injection only where clinically indicated
