How it works
Reduces peritendinous inflammation acutely, providing short-term pain relief. However, corticosteroids can weaken tendon collagen structure, increasing rupture risk with repeated injections.
Current guidelines advise caution with corticosteroid injections in tendinopathy — particularly the Achilles and patellar tendons where rupture risk is significant. If used, combine with active loading programme and limit to 1–2 injections.
Medical guidance
