Tendon injuries are among the most stubborn musculoskeletal conditions to treat. At OMNI SCULPT MD, Dr. DeGironemo applies advanced regenerative therapies to support tendon healing and long-term recovery without surgery.
What Are Tendon Injuries and Why Are They Difficult to Heal?
Tendons are dense bands of connective tissue that attach muscle to bone. According to the Mayo Clinic, tendon injuries range from acute tears caused by sudden force to chronic tendinopathy resulting from repetitive strain and degeneration over time. Because tendons have a relatively limited blood supply compared to muscle tissue, they heal slowly and incompletely without targeted intervention.
Common tendon injuries include:
- Achilles tendinopathy or rupture
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee)
- Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis)
- Biceps tendon tears
- Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
