Supporting Tendon Health & Recovery with PRP Treatment
At JG Aesthetics, we offer professional bespoke PRP Treatment for Tendinitis and see clients from Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Glengormley and right across County Antrim.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated preparation of platelets obtained from a patient's own blood. Platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors and proteins involved in the body's normal healing and repair processes.
​
PRP may be considered in some cases of tendinopathy, including persistent tendon pain where symptoms have not responded adequately to more conservative approaches. Tendinopathy can affect a number of areas of the body, including the Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, elbow and shoulder.
​
However, not all tendon pain has the same underlying cause, and PRP is not suitable for every tendon condition. The evidence for PRP varies depending on the tendon affected and the individual circumstances, so treatment should be considered on a case-by-case basis rather than as a standard treatment for all tendinopathy.
​
At JG Aesthetics, a consultation is required before PRP treatment. Your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment and individual circumstances will be assessed to determine whether PRP may be an appropriate option for you. So if you have tendinitis and are located close to us in County Antrim (Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Glengormley, Antrim), contact us to book an appointment.

Are these symptoms affecting your quality of life?
There are different approaches to managing tendon pain, depending on the tendon affected, the underlying cause, how long you have experienced symptoms and how they respond to initial treatment.
When Should You Seek Advice?
Persistent tendon pain should not simply be assumed to be tendinitis. Consider seeking medical advice if pain is ongoing, getting worse, affecting your movement, limiting your normal activities or failing to improve with appropriate self-care.
​
It is important to establish the underlying cause of tendon pain before considering treatment, as symptoms can have several possible causes. A GP or other appropriate healthcare professional can assess your symptoms and, where necessary, arrange further assessment or investigations.
​
At JG Aesthetics, your medical history and symptoms will be considered during your consultation before PRP is recommended. The aim is to establish whether PRP is appropriate for your individual circumstances, rather than assuming it is suitable simply because you have tendon pain.
