Tendinitis

Tendinitis affects people of all ages, but it is most common in adults age 40 and older. Tendons are the soft tissues that connect a muscle to bone.  Because the muscles are constantly putting strain on the tendons as they move, they can become inflamed or irritated.  This inflammation and irritation can occur in any muscles in any part of the body.

Ask your doctor if you experience
  • Pain and tenderness along the tendons
  • Pain that is worse with movement or activity
  • Pain that is sometimes worse at night
  • Swelling and/or redness over the tendon area
  • Stiffness in the joint
  • Rubbing or snapping sound or feel with motion

Areas Commonly Affected
  • Shoulder – swimmer’s shoulder, pitcher’s shoulder
  • Elbow – golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow
  • Knee – jumper’s knee
  • Wrist – carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Base of the thumb
  • Achilles tendon
  • Hip

Why Try Physical Therapy

A physical therapist is highly trained to identify the contributing factors to tendinitis.  They can help restore mobility and function of the tendons and joints that are involved.  A personalized treatment program may include stretching, strengthening, range of motion exercises, heat/cold therapy, ultrasound, and other modalities to help decrease the pain and break up calcium deposits.  Manual therapy may also be provided to help aid with healing and improve flexibility.
