Chiropractic Care for Tendinitis

Tendinitis is often caused by overuse, repetitive motion, or strain, leading to micro-tears and inflammation in the tendon. Common examples include:

• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

• Rotator cuff tendinitis

• Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee)

• Achilles tendinitis

Without proper care, tendinitis can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

• Localized pain and tenderness along the tendon

• Swelling or inflammation

• Stiffness or reduced joint mobility

• Pain that worsens with movement or activity

• Weakness in the affected limb

• Discomfort that can persist even at rest

​​​​​​​Early chiropractic care can prevent these symptoms from worsening and accelerate the healing process.

Chiropractic care focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring proper joint mechanics, and improving muscular balance to support tendon healing.

At Emerson Chiropractic, your customized care plan may include:

• Joint adjustments to improve alignment and reduce stress on the tendon

• Soft tissue therapy and massage to relieve muscle tension and inflammation

• Targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to restore mobility and support healing

• Postural and ergonomic guidance to prevent recurring strain

• Activity modification advice to reduce overuse and support recovery

This approach addresses the root cause of tendinitis rather than just masking the pain.

Patients often notice:

• Reduced tendon pain and inflammation

• Improved flexibility and joint mobility

• Faster recovery and healing

• Enhanced muscular balance and strength

• Non-surgical, drug-free relief

• Prevention of recurring tendon injuries

Chiropractic care helps you regain function and comfort while supporting long-term joint and tendon health.
