Tendinopathies Treatment
Think of tendons as the strong cables that connect your muscles to your bones. When these cables become stressed or damaged, you might experience what we call tendinopathies. You might notice these problems in your shoulder when reaching overhead, in your elbow during your tennis game, or in your Achilles tendon while walking or running.
Understanding Tendinopathies
Tendinopathies encompass a range of tendon conditions that can significantly impact your daily life and activities.
- Tendinitis — when your tendon becomes inflamed, often feeling hot and painful to the touch
- Tendinosis — a longer-term condition where the tendon's structure changes over time
- Partial tears — small tears in the tendon fibers from overuse or acute injury
- Calcific tendinopathy — calcium deposits forming within the tendon
