Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a quite new treatment option for rotator cuff tendonitis. It involves taking a blood sample, which is spun to separate out the platelets and other healing components from your red blood cells. This plasma mixture is later injected into your inflamed tendons to speed up healing and alleviate inflammation. Compared to steroid injections, platelet-rich plasma therapy is more effective and has fewer side effects. However, there might be some risks of scar tissues, excessive bleeding, or infections. [12]
