    Autologous blood injection

    Hi Craig,

    We have had success with autologous blood injection following fine needling of the achilles tendon for tendonosis. I have not used for plantar fasciitis but it is certainly interesting. I also use ultrasound for diagnosis as well as guiding the needle. My patients are also immobilised in a walker for a period after the treatment. We are currently recruiting for a study which will be published in due course.

    cheers

    Does anyone know a UK supplier for the equipment required to process blood in this way?
