About Patellar Tendinitis
What you should know
If your knee pain has lasted longer than a few weeks and hasn't improved with rest or therapy alone, you may be dealing with chronic patellar tendinitis — also called jumper's knee. This is a degenerative tendon condition where repetitive stress causes the patellar tendon to break down faster than it can repair itself. Without the right treatment stimulus, it rarely heals on its own.
Our approach
How We Treat Chronic Patellar Tendinitis
At Chiropractic Remedy, we focus on stimulating healing in damaged tendon tissue — not just reducing inflammation.
For chronic patellar tendinitis, we use focused shockwave therapy to:
- 1Increase circulation to the injured patellar tendon
- 2Stimulate collagen repair and new tissue formation
- 3Break down degenerative scar tissue
- 4Reduce chronic pain sensitivity at the knee
- 5Support long-term tendon recovery and strength
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical, drug-free, and requires no downtime. Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few treatments.
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
- Your knee pain has lasted longer than 6–8 weeks
- Rest and traditional rehab haven't fully resolved symptoms
- You want to avoid cortisone injections or surgery
- You want to return to sport, training, or daily activity without ongoing pain
- You're looking for a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment option
