Injections can be a helpful step for foot and tendon pain, and the two most talked about, cortisone and PRP, work in different ways.
Cortisone
A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation quickly. It can provide meaningful relief, though it treats symptoms more than the underlying tissue.
PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma uses healing factors from your own blood to encourage tissue repair. It is often chosen for chronic tendon problems and for active patients focused on healing, not just symptom relief.
