Common Types of Tendonitis We Treat
Tendonitis can develop in nearly any tendon in the body. Our orthopedic specialists provide expert diagnosis and personalized treatment for tendon inflammation throughout the body.
Achilles Tendonitis
Most common in runners and jumping athletes, Achilles tendonitis causes pain and stiffness at the back of the heel. Early treatment prevents progression to tendon tears.
Rotator Cuff Tendonitis
Shoulder pain from repetitive overhead motions can inflame the rotator cuff tendons. We provide targeted treatment to restore shoulder strength and range of motion.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Caused by repetitive gripping or wrist extension, tennis elbow creates outer elbow pain that can limit everyday activities. We offer both conservative and advanced treatment options.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Pain on the inner elbow from repetitive flexion or gripping affects golfers, climbers, and laborers. We identify the source and provide targeted rehabilitation to resolve it.
Patellar Tendonitis (Jumper's Knee)
Common in athletes who jump or sprint, patellar tendonitis causes knee pain just below the kneecap. We provide treatment plans that address the root cause and get you back on the field.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
Inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist causes pain with gripping and pinching. Common in new parents and those who perform repetitive hand motions, this condition responds well to conservative treatment.
Commonly Asked Questions about Tendonitis
What is the difference between tendonitis and a tendon tear?
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, while a tendon tear involves actual structural damage to the tendon tissue. Tendonitis typically responds well to conservative care — a tear may require surgery depending on severity.
Can tendonitis heal on its own?
Mild tendonitis can improve with rest and activity modification, but ignoring it often leads to chronic pain or tendon damage. Early evaluation helps ensure proper treatment so you heal completely and avoid re-injury.
When should I see a doctor for tendonitis?
You should see a doctor if tendon pain persists beyond a few days, worsens with activity, or is accompanied by swelling or weakness. Early treatment prevents the condition from becoming chronic and reduces your risk of a more serious tendon injury.
