SPORTS INJURIES
Knee Tendonitis
Knee Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the most common injury to the knee, but not the most well-known.
This manifests as pain about the knee at the areas where the tendons attach to
the bones. One of the most frequent types of tendonitis of the knee is pes anserinus
tendonitis.The pes anserinus tendons lie on the inside and just below the knee
joint. They are injured by strong exertional activities, such as running, commonly
performed in many different sports. The MEAT protocol and Prolotherapy are the
agents that most effectively relieve this pain. The wonderful thing about Prolotherapy
for the athlete is that exercise is encouraged during the healing process! Exercising
increases circulation, which aids in the healing from Prolotherapy. Like most
tendonitis, pes anserinus tendonitis often requires three to five sessions of
Prolotherapy. For the athlete who is in a big hurry to improve, the injections
are given every one to two weeks. But for typical chronic tendonitis, Prolotherapy
is done every four to six weeks, to allow sufficient time for tissue growth between
treatments.
