Tendon & Ligament Pain Treatment

Non-Surgical Treatments for Musculoskeletal Injuries

At STEMS Health, we specialize in innovative treatments to alleviate tendon and ligament pain, offering a path to recovery without the need for invasive surgery. Our approach centers around harnessing the body's natural healing capabilities, providing personalized care tailored to each patient's unique condition.

Understanding Tendon and Ligament Pain

Tendons and ligaments are vital components of the body's musculoskeletal system, essential for facilitating movement and providing stability to joints. Tendons connect muscles to bones, enabling the force of muscle contractions to be transferred to the skeleton, thus producing movement. Ligaments, on the other hand, connect bones to other bones, stabilizing and supporting joints to prevent excessive movement.

Tendon Pain

Tendon pain, often referred to as tendinopathy, can result from overuse, injury, or age-related wear and tear. This condition encompasses a range of tendon issues, including tendinitis (inflammation of the tendon) and tendinosis (degeneration of the tendon). Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, and decreased strength and flexibility in the affected area. Repetitive activities or sudden increases in physical activity are frequent culprits, leading to conditions such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, and rotator cuff injuries.

Ligament Pain

Ligament injuries, known as sprains, occur when ligaments are stretched or torn from sudden twists, falls, or impacts. These injuries can range from mild (slight stretching and microscopic tearing of the ligament fibers) to severe (complete tear of the ligament). Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the joint normally. Common examples include ankle sprains from twisting one's foot, knee ligament injuries from sports, and wrist sprains from falls.

What’s the difference between tendons and ligaments?

  • Structural Variances: Tendons and ligaments serve distinct roles in the musculoskeletal system. Tendons connect muscles to bones, facilitating movement, while ligaments connect bone to bone, providing stability to joints.

  • Causes of Tendon Pain: Tendon pain often stems from overuse, repetitive strain, or injury. Conditions like tendinitis or tendinosis can cause discomfort, affecting the ability to perform specific movements.

  • Causes of Ligament Pain: Ligament pain, on the other hand, is frequently associated with injuries that result in stretching or tearing. Common scenarios include sprains, often occurring during sudden twists or impacts.

Regenerative Medicine Therapies

Our approach to tendon and ligament pain emphasizes innovative, non-surgical treatments that leverage the body's natural healing processes. Our specialized treatments include:

  • This advanced therapy utilizes stem cells derived from the patient's own body to repair and regenerate damaged tendon and ligament tissues. By promoting the replacement of injured cells with healthy ones, Stem Cell Therapy can effectively reduce pain and improve joint function.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy involves extracting a small sample of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the affected area. The growth factors in PRP help stimulate the body's healing response, enhancing tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

  • Exosome therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses exosomes—tiny vesicles containing signaling molecules—to facilitate communication between cells. By delivering these powerful messengers directly to the site of injury.
