Tendinopathy Treatment in Sarasota, FL | Dr. Sandy Arthur, Sports Chiropractor
Tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries I see in athletes here in Sarasota. For tennis players, it often shows up as tennis elbow. For golfers, it can strike the elbow or shoulder. For weightlifters, the knees, shoulders, and hamstrings are common hot spots.
Tendinopathy occurs when tendons — the thick cords that connect muscle to bone — are stressed by repetitive motion. The result can be:
Pain or stiffness near a joint
Swelling or inflammation (tendonitis)
Limited range of motion
Decreased performance in sports or daily activities
Who Gets Tendinopathy?
You don’t have to be a competitive athlete to develop tendon pain. Anyone who performs repetitive movements can be at risk. That means gardening, painting, scrubbing, shoveling, and even long hours of typing can contribute to overuse injuries.
How to Prevent Tendinopathy
The good news is that many cases of tendinopathy can be prevented or managed with simple strategies:
Take frequent breaks from repetitive tasks
Include stretching and mobility exercises in your routine
Use ice and heat therapy as needed
Warm up before activity and cool down afterward
Add in soft tissue care such as massage or Active Release Technique
