You’ve done everything right. You’ve rested. You’ve stretched. You’ve tried physiotherapy. But that nagging pain in your heel (Plantar Fasciitis), elbow (Tennis Elbow), or shoulder just won’t go away. It’s been months, and you’re frustrated, unable to play your sport or even get through the day without a painful reminder of your injury.
Your online research has led you to two of the most talked-about advanced treatments in modern sports medicine: Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections.
You’ve heard the names, but what’s the truth? One uses powerful soundwaves; the other uses your own concentrated blood. Both promise to heal chronic tendon pain and help you avoid surgery, but they are not the same.
As a leading orthopedic and sports medicine clinic in Dubai, we use both of these cutting-edge therapies every day. Choosing the right one for your specific condition is the key to a successful recovery. Let’s break it down.
What is Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)? The "Pain-Reset" Button
Think of Shockwave Therapy as a way to “wake up” a dormant injury. When a tendon fails to heal, it enters a chronic, stagnant state with poor blood flow and disorganized tissue. ESWT uses high-energy acoustic waves, delivered precisely to the injured area, to create a controlled micro-trauma.
This process does two critical things:
Best For:
The Patient Experience: A non-invasive, 15-minute session in our clinic. You’ll feel intense pulses at the treatment site. Typically, 3-5 sessions are required, spaced one week apart.

What are PRP Injections? The "Bio-Booster" for Healing
Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a form of regenerative medicine because it uses concentrated platelets from a patient’s own blood to stimulate and accelerate the body’s natural healing and tissue regeneration processes.
Specialised by Dr. Sharmila Tulpule
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the super-concentrated healing components from your own blood. The process is simple but powerful:
- A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets—the cells rich in powerful growth factors that orchestrate tissue repair.
- This “liquid gold” platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the damaged tendon, precisely guided by Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.
This delivers a massive dose of natural healing factors right where they’re needed, stimulating the repair of torn or degenerated tissue from the inside out.
Best For:
The Patient Experience: An in-clinic procedure that takes about 45 minutes. It involves a blood draw and a precise injection. There may be some post-injection soreness, followed by a gradual improvement over several weeks as the tissue regenerates.
Don’t Guess. Get an Expert Diagnosis.
Choosing the right advanced therapy is critical. At HBG Medical Center, our orthopedic and sports medicine specialists don’t guess. We use advanced diagnostics like Musculoskeletal Ultrasound to accurately assess your tendon injury and determine which treatment will give you the fastest and most complete recovery.
Stop living with stubborn tendon pain. It’s time to leverage technology to heal.
