You Don’t Have to Limit Your Life because of the Pain Caused by

Tendonitis

Are You in Pain?

Do you often experience a dull, aching pain that flares up when you move. Does the pain seem to affect a specific area, such as a joint or muscle? Is there tenderness when you touch the affected area or stiffness in your joints, particularly when you get up in the morning? You may be suffering from tendonitis, where your tendons, which connect bone to muscle, become inflamed or irritated from repetitive use, strain or stress.

There’s good news, though…

You don’t have to let the pain associated with tendonitis keep you from doing the things you love…we can help.

At Pain Management Specialists of New York, we devote our entire practice to the needs of people experiencing traumatic or chronic pain, including pain related to tendonitis. Our lead pain management specialist, Dr. Ari Lerner, brings more than 15 years of experience to individuals across the New York City metropolitan area who are experiencing any type of pain, including tendonitis. He is board-certified in both pain management and anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

Why Do People Typically Suffer from Tendonitis?

Your tendons may become inflamed or irritated in many ways:

Traumatic injury

Traumatic injury, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents or slips and falls can cause tendonitis.

Repetitive stress or motion

Repetitive stress or motion can cause tendonitis in the elbow, knee or ankle.

Sports

Sports-related impact or wear and tear can lead to tendonitis, and examples are tennis elbow and goal elbow

Overexertion

Overexertion, including lifting, running, walking, standing or squatting can inflame tendons.

Aging

Tendons become less flexible over time and more prone to strain, sprain or tearing.

Posture and Weight

Poor posture or excessive weight can irritate and inflame tendons.

What Can Pain Management Specialists of New York Do to Alleviate Your Pain?

When treating patients who are suffering from tendonitis, we always start with a comprehensive review of your medical history, as well as a thorough medical exam, so that we can pinpoint the source of your pain. Though we don’t believe that medication is an effective long-term solution to chronic pain, we can prescribe painkillers or anti-inflammatories to provide short-term relief. We also believe that physical therapy and chiropractic care successfully treat your pain and will often recommend those forms of treatment.
If you need further treatment to effectively manage your pain, we offer corticosteroid injections for short-term relief from swelling and discomfort.

We also offer the following treatments:

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections

a cutting-edge process that uses platelets from your own blood to promote tissue regeneration and healing

What are platelet rich plasma injections?

Platelet rich plasma therapy can help injured joints and other problems. It uses parts of your own blood to reduce pain and speed up healing.

Radiofrequency Ablation

a minimally invasive procedure where we use radio waves to shrink or destroy damaged tissue

What is radiofrequency ablation of the lumbar facets?

This procedure uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back. It eases pain that isn’t helped by medications or physical therapy.

If these forms of treatment don’t successfully alleviate your tendon pain, we can refer you to an orthopedic surgeon.
