Tendinitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon — the thick, fibrous cord that connects muscle to bone. Repetitive movements, overuse, or sudden injury can cause tiny tears in the tendon, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
Common types of tendinitis include:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outer side of the elbow from repetitive gripping or wrist extension.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inner side of the elbow from repetitive flexion or gripping.
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis: Pain and weakness in the shoulder due to overuse of the shoulder tendons.
| Treatment Type | Description | When Recommended | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rest & Activity Modification | Reducing or avoiding movements that strain the tendon | First-line treatment | Prevents further damage, allows healing |
| Ice Therapy | Applying ice packs to reduce swelling and pain | Acute phase | Simple, effective relief |
| Medications | NSAIDs to control pain and inflammation | Mild to moderate cases | Improves comfort, reduces swelling |
| Physical Therapy | Exercises to strengthen and stretch tendons, improve biomechanics | Essential in recovery | Restores strength, prevents recurrence |
| Bracing or Splinting | Supports the joint and limits tendon strain | Tennis or golfer’s elbow | Reduces pain during activity |
| Corticosteroid Injections | Reduces severe inflammation in the tendon | Persistent pain despite conservative care | Rapid pain relief |
| Shockwave Therapy | Non-invasive therapy using sound waves to stimulate healing | Chronic tendinitis | Promotes tissue repair |
| Surgery (rarely needed) | Removal of damaged tendon tissue or repair | Severe or unresponsive cases | Restores function and relieves pain |
