What can we do?

Physiotherapists can help you start an appropriate rehabilitation program and can also try sports taping the affected region to reduce symptoms. In addition, if your condition is related to technique in your sport, they can help assess and correct your technique.

Doctors can help by giving a corticosteroid injection to the region, which may provide short term relief. Symptoms may also be relieved by the use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), or via injection of autologous concentrated plasma (ACP).

In chronic cases with persistent symptoms, tendon release surgery can be considered.
