I had three at UC Davis in 3013 for Achilles tendonitis which nothing had helped. It cured it and I haven't had it since. I have had one in my ankle also and it helped too.

Very interesting. I never would have guessed PRPs could be uselful for achilles tendinitis. But considering the "accordion-like" structure of the tendon and shaft, PRP would likelyb relieve that inflammation.

Of course it's important to stretch the achilles tendon, and all muscles on the back of the legs.

Thanks!

Joe
