Tendonitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, the thick, fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. It often causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint, making movement difficult. Tendonitis can occur in any tendon but is most common in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels. It typically results from repetitive motions or overuse, especially in athletes or individuals who perform repetitive activities in their work or daily life. Poor posture, inadequate stretching, or sudden increases in physical activity can also contribute to developing tendonitis. Age-related changes can weaken tendons, making them more susceptible to injury.
Treatment for tendonitis aims to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting healing. Resting the affected area is crucial to prevent further irritation. Applying ice packs to the injured site can help reduce swelling and pain, especially in the first few days following the onset of symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, may also help manage discomfort. Physical therapy exercises that focus on stretching and strengthening the muscles around the affected tendon can improve flexibility and prevent future injuries. In some cases, a doctor may recommend corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation, although these are typically reserved for severe cases due to potential side effects. In chronic or severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair torn or damaged tendons. Preventing tendonitis involves warming up properly before physical activity, using proper techniques, and gradually increasing activity levels to avoid overloading tendons.
