Can long-head biceps tendinitis be treated with injection?

Doctor’s answer

It can be considered after a clear diagnosis. Treatment usually begins with rest, ice, anti-inflammatory pain control, and shoulder rehabilitation. Some patients may receive corticosteroid injection, often with image guidance to improve accuracy. Persistent failure or associated shoulder disease may require arthroscopic treatment, tenodesis, or release.
