Tendonitis

What is it?

As “itis” means “inflammation,” tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon, connective tissue that adheres muscle to bone.

Tendonitis can be acute or chronic, and can vary in severity from mild to excruciating. It is often a result of overuse or injury, and accounts for half of all sports-related injuries.

Key Points:

Inflammatory condition
Can be acute or chronic
Often due to overuse or injury
Can be prevented by proper sports training or ergonomics
May be debilitating and cause loss of proper function of the affected area
Tendons take 12 weeks to heal – and must be given the time and support to do so
