HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR TENDINITIS
Tendinitis is
inflammation or irritation of a tendon — any one of the thick fibrous cords
that attaches muscle to bone. The condition causes pain and tenderness just
outside a joint.
While tendinitis can occur in any of your body's tendons, it's
most common around your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels.
Some common names for various tendinitis problems are:
·
Tennis elbow
·
Golfer's elbow
·
Pitcher's shoulder
·
Swimmer's shoulder
·
Jumper's knee
If tendinitis is severe and leads to the rupture of a tendon,
you may need surgical repair. But most cases of tendinitis can be successfully
treated with rest, physical therapy and medications to reduce pain.
Causes-- Although tendinitis can be caused by a sudden injury,
the condition is much more likely to stem from the repetition of a particular
movement over time. Most people develop tendinitis because their jobs or
hobbies involve repetitive motions, which put stress on the tendons needed to
perform the tasks.
Symptoms-- Signs and symptoms of tendinitis tend to
occur at the point where a tendon attaches to a bone and typically include:
·
Pain often described as a dull ache, especially when moving the
affected limb or joint
·
Tenderness
·
Mild swelling
Risk factors-- Risk factors for developing tendinitis
include age, working in particular jobs or participating in certain sports.
Age
As people get older, their tendons become less flexible — which
makes them easier to injure.
Occupations
Tendinitis is more common in people whose jobs involve:
·
Repetitive motions
·
Awkward positions
·
Frequent overhead reaching
·
Vibration
·
Forceful exertion
Sports
You may be more likely to develop tendinitis if you participate
in certain sports that involve repetitive motions, especially if your technique
isn't optimal. This can occur with:
·
Baseball
·
Basketball
·
Bowling
·
Golf
·
Running
·
Swimming
·
Tennis
Complications-- Without proper treatment,
tendinitis can increase your risk of experiencing tendon rupture — a much more
serious condition that may require surgical repair.
If tendon irritation persists for several weeks or
months, a condition known as tendinosis may develop. This condition involves
degenerative changes in the tendon itself, along with abnormal new blood vessel
growth.
