Tendon and ligament injuries

Understanding this condition is the first step towards a personal care plan.

What it is

About tendon and ligament injuries

Tendons connect muscle to bone, while ligaments help hold joints steady. Repeated loading or an injury can lead to pain, swelling, weakness or instability.

Assessment and care

Care depends on the tissue involved and the extent of injury. A graded rehabilitation plan may be recommended; significant weakness or instability needs assessment.

Seek urgent medical help for a hot, swollen joint with fever, sudden severe pain or inability to bear weight, or new weakness, numbness, or bladder or bowel changes.

Tendon and ligament problems are a frequent reason active travellers and expatriates in Bangkok seek joint care.

  • Assessment: examination combined with imaging such as ultrasound or MRI.
  • Rehabilitation: a graded plan is usually built around the specific injury.
  • Procedures: where an injection or procedure is considered, the medical team explains the limits first, since results from one study cannot be assumed for a different tendon or product.

Planning a visit from abroad? Three things help:

  • Where we are: central Bangkok, near BTS Ekkamai.
  • Before you travel: you can share your records and imaging with the medical team.
  • Around your stay: we help you plan assessment, any agreed treatment and follow-up.

Your care options

Where does stem cell therapy fit?

  • Not automatic: having joint pain does not automatically mean stem cell therapy is suitable. Our medical team reviews your diagnosis, records and previous care before discussing whether it may be considered.
  • Ask questions: about alternatives, possible risks, costs and follow-up.
  • Keep expectations realistic: no specific result can be promised, and stem cell therapy does not replace specialist care for an underlying condition.
