Blood injection, specifically a whole blood injection, is used as a treatment option to help heal chronic tendon problems.
How Blood Injection Works for Tendon Healing
A whole blood injection leverages the body's natural healing mechanisms. The process involves:
- Extraction: Blood is drawn from the patient.
- Preparation: The extracted blood is prepared for injection.
- Injection: The prepared blood, containing healing factors, is injected directly into the injured tendon area.
- Healing Acceleration: The healing factors in the injected blood help accelerate the repair process of the damaged tendon.
According to available information, "A Whole Blood Injection is a safe and experimental treatment option for accelerating the healing of various chronic tendon problems. The injection is derived from your own blood and involves healing factors being injected into the injured part of the tendon."
