How to treat patellar tendinitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many ways : Rest from the offending activity, with jumping being a common cause. Ice, nsaids and a patellar tendon strap. Physical therapy with a focus on quad stretching and strengthening. Advanced injections, percutaneous tenotomy or debridement surgery are options for cases that don't respond to traditional measures.
