Patellar Tendonitis & Jumper's Knee Treatment in Solana Beach

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy — non-surgical, drug-free care.

Patellar tendonitis — better known as jumper's knee — is a chronic overload injury of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shin. SoftWave is one of the most evidence-backed non-surgical treatments available for this stubborn tendinopathy.

Patellar Tendonitis & Jumper's Knee Treatment
Common Symptoms
  • Pain just below the kneecap
  • Sharp pain with jumping, squatting, or stairs
  • Stiffness at the start of activity that loosens, then returns
  • Tenderness when pressing on the patellar tendon
  • Pain that lingers despite rest, ice, and stretching
Common Causes
  • Jumping sports (basketball, volleyball, CrossFit)
  • Sudden spikes in training load
  • Tight quads and weak hips
  • Chronic patellar tendinosis with limited blood flow

How SoftWave Helps Patellar Tendonitis

SoftWave stimulates angiogenesis and collagen remodeling in the patellar tendon — addressing the root cause of jumper's knee rather than masking symptoms with anti-inflammatories that only delay healing.

What to Expect

Most patients need 6–8 sessions paired with progressive loading. Many notice less morning stiffness and easier stairs within the first few visits.
