Are you struggling with persistent tendon pain that’s holding you back from doing the things you love? Whether it’s in your shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, or ankle, tendinitis can significantly impact your mobility, strength, and quality of life. At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we focus on helping you move better, heal better, and feel better with active care, strength-focused rehabilitation, and cutting-edge therapies to manage and resolve tendinitis.
Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon, the thick connective tissue that attaches muscles to bones. Tendinitis is typically caused by overuse, repetitive motions, or sudden increases in activity levels. It can also be linked to age-related changes in tendon tissue or hormonal shifts, such as those that occur during pregnancy or menopause.
Tendinitis flares up when tendons are overstressed due to repetitive movements, sudden changes in activity, or muscle imbalances. Poor posture and insufficient recovery time between activities can also contribute.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment approach. With active care and rehabilitation, tendinitis can improve within weeks to months. Chronic cases may take longer, but early intervention speeds up recovery.
Yes! Chiropractors can address the underlying causes of tendinitis, such as muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, and poor movement patterns, to reduce stress on tendons and promote healing.
Tendinitis is often caused by repetitive overuse, poor biomechanics, or muscle weakness that put extra stress on tendons. Other contributing factors include:
Hormonal shifts during pregnancy and perimenopause/menopause can make tendons more prone to inflammation and injury. For example:
Common areas affected include the wrists (De Quervain’s tendinitis), shoulders, and knees. Addressing strength, mobility, and hormone-related changes can help reduce symptoms and improve recovery. These are often dismissed as “you’re just getting old” – while this may be true, that doesn’t mean pain and disability are inevitable!
At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we take a whole-person approach to tendinitis care. Rather than focusing solely on pain relief, we work to improve strength, mobility, and overall function.
We provide customized rehabilitation programs that include progressive strength training exercises to help you return to your favorite activities safely and confidently. Rest alone won’t resolve tendinitis – targeted movement and strengthening are essential.
At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we go beyond pain relief. Our proactive, patient-centered approach focuses on empowering you to take control of your health with active care, strength-based rehab, and the latest therapeutic technologies.
If you’re dealing with tendinitis, don’t wait for the pain to get worse. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and start your journey to recovery!
