Tendonosis

Tendinosis is sometimes referred to as chronic tendinitis, tendinosus, chronic tendinopathy or chronic tendon injury. It is damage to a tendon at a cellular level and is thought to be caused by microtears in the connective tissue in and around the tendon, leading to an increase in tendon repair cells that can lead to tendon rupture. Symptoms can often vary and can include aches, pain and stiffness to the local area of the tendon or burning that surrounds the whole joint around the inflamed tendon. Pain is usually worse during and after activity. The tendon and joint may become stiffer the day following as swelling impinges the movement of the tendon. Patients also report stressful situations in correlation with the beginning of pain and may contribute to the symptoms.Payment optionsDr Rec VidESWTHelpful LINKSHomeMilitaryVAsGO TeamContactPlantar FaciitisLocate A PodiatristService AreaTestimonialsShoulder CalcificationWeb Physicians QnAquestions answeredPatella Tendonitis
