Tendinitis

Tendinitis, also known as tendonitis, is a condition in which the tendons become inflamed and painful. Tendons are the thick, fibrous cords that connect muscles to bones.

  1. Pain and tenderness in the affected area
  2. Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  3. Swelling and inflammation
  1. Repetitive motions of a particular joint or muscle, such as from sports or work activities
  2. Overuse of a particular joint or muscle
  3. Aging
  4. Injury or trauma to the affected area
  1. Physical exam and medical history
  2. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds to rule out other conditions
  1. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: ESWT is a noninvasive medical treatment that uses shockwaves that are high-energy sound waves directed at the affected area, stimulating healing and reducing pain.
  2. Pulsed Signal Repair Therapy helps to improve cellular function and promote healing in the body. It stimulates cellular metabolism and increases circulation, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve tissue repair, and promote overall healing.
  3. Rest and avoiding activities that aggravate the condition
  4. Physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the affected area
  5. Using orthotics, such as braces or splints, to support and stabilize the affected area.

Prevention is key in managing tendinitis. Proper stretching and warm-up techniques before exercise or physical activity can help prevent the condition. Gradually increasing the intensity and duration of exercise can also help prevent tendinitis. Using proper form during physical activity and taking breaks during repetitive activities can also help prevent tendinitis.
