“For Tendon Pain, Think Beyond the Needle”
An article in the New York Times, February 28,2011 discusses the research lines that Dr. Alex Scott pursues. Dr Scott is working to better understand of the actual causes of tendon pain and thereby develop and test effective treatments. The Times article referred to his commentary on a Lancet report in which Dr. Scott and Karim Khan (UBC Department of Family Practice and Centre for Hip Health and Mobility) comment that “specific exercise therapy might produce more cures at 6 and 12 months than one or more corticosteroid injections.”
