Chiropractor & Physical Therapy for Tendonitis Treatment in Carrollton, TX
Tendonitis is a term used to describe tissue damage, inflammation, or irritation of a tendon or the soft tissues surrounding the tendon. Common areas include the Achilles, biceps tendon, rotator cuff tendons, elbow tendons (tennis elbow and golfer's elbow), or even the hamstrings.
What Causes Tendonitis?
Tendonitis typically develops from:
Repetitive overuse (sports, work tasks, poor mechanics)
Sudden increase in activity or load
Muscle tightness that increases tension on the tendon
Weakness or imbalance in surrounding muscles
Age-related changes (tendons become less flexible over time)
Common Symptoms Include:
Localized pain at or near the tendon
Pain that worsens with movement or activity
Tenderness when pressing on the tendon
Mild swelling around the area
Stiffness, especially in the morning or after inactivity
Pain with resisted movement of the involved muscle
How is Tendonitis Treated by a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist?
Chiropractic treatment of tendonitis targets reducing inflammation initially. This can be done with a variety of techniques. Dry needling and shockwave therapy are great ways to treat tendonitis! E-stimulation, manual therapies, taping and cupping are all ways in the office to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms as well. Chiropractic adjusting around the area can be helpful as well to improve mobility around the area. Rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy exercises are also utilized to improve strength and function, improve blood flow for recovery, reduce symptoms and prevent flare ups moving forward.
