What to Expect From Our Team
Risk Factors: • Age: As athletes age, tendons become less flexible and more prone to injury. • Certain Sports: Activities that involve repetitive motions or sudden, intense bursts of activity are more likely to cause tendonitis. • Physical Condition: Poor flexibility or strength can increase the risk of developing tendonitis. At Sievers Sports Medicine, sports medicine physicians focus on identifying these risk factors and customizing treatments and preventive strategies. Our team works with athletes to modify training regimens, improve techniques, and suggest exercises to strengthen the muscles and tendons, reducing the likelihood of tendonitis. Effective prevention and early intervention by a skilled sports medicine physician can be the key to a swift recovery and continued athletic success! Precision Treatment for tendonitis at Sievers Sports Medicine Our sports medicine physician at Sievers Sports Medicine offers several innovative injection-based treatments to manage tendonitis effectively. These treatments are enhanced by the use of ultrasound technology, ensuring precision and effectiveness. Ultrasound-Guided Injection Treatments: • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: These are used to treat tendonitis by promoting healing in the affected tendons. • Corticosteroids: Effective in reducing pain and inflammation, providing relief, and aiding in rehabilitation. • Percutaneous Needle Tenotomy (PNT): A needling procedure that stimulates healing in damaged tendons.
The use of ultrasound in these treatments is a game-changer. It’s a noninvasive tool that uses sound waves to see inside your body, allowing for extreme accuracy. This accuracy is crucial for better results and minimizing the pain associated with these procedures. When you visit Sievers Sports Medicine, our sports medicine specialists take a personalized approach. We will work closely with you to determine the most suitable treatment for your condition. This commitment to precision and advanced technology and expertise ensures you receive the best care for your tendonitis, helping you return to your sport with confidence and strength. We also offer urgent care appointments, with same-day visits and no appointment necessary during business hours. Our services include general orthopedics, fracture care, digital X-ray, bracing, casting, and custom splinting.
