Frequently Asked Questions

How long does patellar tendinopathy take to improve?

Recovery timescales vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual circumstances. Your clinician will discuss what you can realistically expect following assessment.

Will I need a scan?

Not always. Imaging is only arranged where your clinician feels it is likely to provide additional information to support diagnosis and treatment planning.

Can this be managed without surgery or injections?

Many patients improve through physiotherapy, progressive rehabilitation and activity modification. Your clinician will discuss all appropriate treatment options based on your assessment.
