Difference between revisions of "Treat Tendonitis"

Tendinitis is inflammation of the tendons, which are the tapered ends of muscles that attach to bones. Tendons are in action every time muscles contract and bones move. As such, tendonitis is often the result of overuse, such as repetitive movements at work. Tendonitis can theoretically affect all tendons, but the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hips and heel (Achilles tendon) are the areas most commonly inflamed.<ref name="rf1">http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001229.htm</ref> Tendinitis can cause significant pain and disability, although it often fades away after a few weeks, particularly if some helpful home care treatment is applied. However, in some cases, tendonitis can become chronic and requires medical attention.
