Tendonitis can be frustrating because it often lingers. Pain may start small, then gradually worsen with repeated use. Whether it affects your shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, or foot, our goal is to identify what is overloading the tendon and build a treatment plan that helps it recover properly.
Schedule an Appointment View All ServicesTendonitis refers to irritation or overload of a tendon, which is the structure that connects muscle to bone. When a tendon is repeatedly stressed without enough recovery, it can become painful, sensitive, and less able to handle load.
In many cases, tendon pain is not just simple inflammation. It often involves a gradual breakdown in how the tendon handles stress over time. That is why rest alone does not always fix the problem.
Pain with reaching, lifting, or overhead movement.
Pain with gripping, lifting, or repetitive hand and arm use.
Pain with squatting, jumping, stairs, or loading the knee.
Pain with walking, running, or pushing off the foot.
Tendonitis is often caused by repetitive motion, overuse, sudden increases in activity, poor mechanics, muscle imbalance, or inadequate recovery. Jobs that involve repeated lifting, gripping, or overhead work can contribute, as well as sports and exercise routines that overload the same tissues repeatedly.
In some patients, the issue is not just how much they are doing, but how they are doing it. Poor movement patterns, weakness, and compensation can increase stress on a tendon even during normal activity.
At Relief Plus, treatment is based on your symptoms, exam findings, and how the tendon is being stressed. Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may include:
