Manhattan Podiatry Group • Comprehensive Tendon Rehabilitation & Regenerative Therapy
Tendinitis occurs when tendons—such as the Achilles, posterior tibial, or peroneal tendons—become inflamed or micro-torn from repetitive overuse, sudden increases in physical activity, structural foot imbalances, or tendon tightness.
Left untreated, acute inflammation can progress to chronic tendinosis, characterized by collagen degeneration and persistent lower leg or foot pain. At Manhattan Podiatry Group, Dr. Mark Sharobeem, DPM, designs comprehensive recovery plans integrating prescription orthotics, eccentric physical therapy, advanced shockwave therapy, and regenerative PRP injections.
Located at 55 Broadway, Suite 602, our Financial District practice provides targeted diagnostic ultrasound and personalized care pathways designed to restore full tendon strength and mobility.
Overuse is the primary catalyst, often triggered by suddenly ramping up running mileage, walking on hard concrete city surfaces without proper support, or wearing worn-out athletic footwear lacking structural stability.
Patients typically experience intense stiffness during the first steps out of bed in the morning, localized tenderness along the tendon path, mild swelling, and a dull aching sensation during physical activity.
Dr. Sharobeem evaluates tendon flexibility, range of motion, and gait mechanics. High-resolution diagnostic ultrasound is utilized on-site to visualize fiber fraying, fluid accumulation, or chronic micro-tearing.
Initial care emphasizes unloading compromised tendons through custom functional orthotics, heel lifts, and temporary immobilization if micro-tears are severe. Eccentric strengthening programs are then introduced to rebuild collagen fiber alignment and tensile strength.
For stubborn tendinopathies that fail to respond to traditional rest and physical therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) regenerative therapy introduces concentrated autologous growth factors directly into the damaged tendon to stimulate cellular repair.
PRP therapy harnesses your own blood platelets to jumpstart natural healing in poorly vascularized tendon tissues, reducing chronic inflammation and restoring long-term durability.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) concentrates your body's natural growth factors, injecting them directly into micro-damaged tendon tissue to accelerate cellular repair and reduce chronic inflammation.
Tendinitis refers to acute inflammation of the tendon. Tendinosis is a chronic, non-inflammatory condition involving microscopic degeneration and fraying of the collagen fibers due to failed healing over time.
Yes. By correcting underlying biomechanical flaws such as excessive pronation or high arches, prescription orthotics redistribute mechanical stress away from vulnerable tendons during walking and running.
