New Treatment of Hamstring tendinopathy

Hamstring tendinopathy is a common sports. Tiny microtears that characterize chronic tendinopathy are not easily diagnosed. A research study shows that Ultrasound-guided autologous blood injection in the hamstring, in combination with a local steroid and dry-needling, appears to be a more clinically effective alternative to the current standard, steroid therapy.
