On-going Research Into New Treatments
Both eccentric loading and extracorporeal shockwave therapy are currently being researched as possible treatments for tendinosis.

Other treatments for which research is on-going includes vitamin E, vitamin B6, nitric oxide, and stem cell injections.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
