Background: Medication and steroid injection therapy only help to reduce the pain, but exercise is effective as a treatment for regaining function in addition to reduction of pain in tendinopathy. Tendinopathy is a major medical problem. It can be defined as a syndrome of tendon pain, localized tenderness, and swelling that impairs performance. In chronic tendinopathy thee is an increasing degree of degeneration with little or no inflammation present. The application of PRP has been documented in many fields. First promoted by M. Ferrari in 1987 as an autologous transfusion component after an open heart operation to avoid homologous blood product transfusion, there are now over 5200 entries in the NCBI for PRP ranging in fields from orthopaedics, sports medicine, dentistry, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, urology, wound healing, cosmetic, cardiothoracic and maxillofacial surgery. Materials and Methods: Our prospective study conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha, Haryana, India. Patients with chronic tendinopathy like supraspinatus tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, tendo A chilles tendinopathy, planter fasciitis, medial epicondylar tendinopathy, lateral epicondylar tendinopathy came to our hospital included in the study after obtaining their informed consent.
