For patients with chronic pain due to rotator cuff tendinopathy, current clinical evidence suggests PRP may lead to greater long-term improvement in pain and function compared to corticosteroid injection.

Despite best efforts via physical therapy and arch supports, patients may still have symptoms traceable to plantar fasciitis.  Minimally invasive treatment options available and may be beneficial based upon published data. Such options include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy (Tenex).

Endeavor Health (formerly known as NorthShore University HealthSystem) recently detailed the success story of one of Dr. Verma’s patients who underwent PRP injection for a hamstring injury in its HealthyYou blog post.
