When you need treatment for tendonitis, turn to our skilled physiotherapists.
Tendonitis is a condition that causes the tendons that connect muscle to bone to become inflamed and can make enjoying certain activities difficult or painful. Treatment for tendonitis varies depending on the location and severity of the condition, but at East Gwillimbury Physiotherapy, we have the skills and experience to help you find relief and start healing.
Some common types of tendonitis include the following:
- Golfer’s elbow: Results in pain on the inner side of the elbow down to the wrist. It is commonly caused by forceful wrist and finger motions such as swinging a golf club, baseball bat, or playing racquet sports.
- Tennis elbow: Causes pain along the forearm and connecting elbow tissue. This is typically an injury as a result of repetitive motion and is common in athletes and those in industries such as painting, plumbing, or office work that require repetitive movements.
- Achilles tendonitis: Pain along the tendon that connects your calf to your heel, which is common in runners and those who play sports.
- Swimmer’s shoulder: Shoulder pain caused by a tendon rubbing along your shoulder blade. The discomfort may be constant and can worsen when you attempt to lift items or move.
- Jumper’s knee: Inflammation of the tissue connecting the kneecap to the shin, which, if left untreated, can cause the tendons to tear.
- Tendonitis of the wrist: Swelling or inflammation of the tendons in your wrist that can make gripping or lifting objects difficult.
Seeking proper treatment for tendonitis can help alleviate pain and prevent further damage to the tissue. Our trained staff of experienced physiotherapists can provide individualized treatment for tendonitis that will help you feel better sooner and allow you to get back to enjoying physical activities again.
