Worked on my torn ACL. Sounds like something you would need to go in and ask the doctor though.

Yes. A degenerative arthritis or tendinitis starts with a soft tissue injury that with recurrent stress leads to joint instability, chronic inflammation, progressive breakdown of structural tissue, then a continued cycle of instability-inflammation-tissue stress-tissue breakdown. The treatments we use work in a few different ways- improving stability and reducing inflammation. By strengthening soft tissue components including ligaments that are injured, instability improves which can reduce stress on damaged tissue. By decreasing inflammation there is less tissue breakdown. Combined with corrective exercises, nutrition/supplements, significant improvement in pain, function, and quality of life can occur. Note that this comment should not be construed as a medical opinion for your condition. A proper consideration for candidacy for treatments we offer at Chicago Arthritis and Regenerative Medicine requires a formal physician evaluation of your condition and records.
