Achilles Injections
Dr Gendall has spent years working with several kinds of Achilles injections. Techniques have been refined over time. Currently we offer High Volume Paratendon Injections and Autologous Blood Injections for Achilles tendonitis and small Achilles tears. These injections are tailored to specific patient circumstances. Post injection there is a strict need to follow detailed recovery protocols. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. Nurofen and Voltaren, diclofenac) are contraindicated prior to Autologous Blood Injection.
