Tendonitis

Whether you have tennis elbow, runner’s knee or pitcher’s shoulder, if you have tendonitis, you want relief. Characterized by soreness, aching and chronic discomfort, tendonitis is caused when a tendon is overused, used improperly or injured. If you have tendonitis, Therapeutic Solutions LLC has the natural approach to help your body heal and prevent future injury.

Dr. Christopher Brill has the experience and expertise to provide the quality chiropractic you need to effectively treat your tendonitis. Rather than treating just your symptoms, chiropractic addresses the root cause of the condition. Initially, the chiropractor may choose to support and protect the injured tendons with a brace to loosen the tendon and reduce inflammation. Other treatments might include ultrasound, icing the area, rest, electrical muscle stimulation, strengthening exercises, massage and manual trigger point therapy. Manual trigger point therapy is when firm pressure is applied by hand on a trigger point for several seconds. The muscle is then stretched afterward. With chiropractic treatment, pain and inflammation should decrease over several weeks, although full healing will not occur until at least six weeks have passed.

During the first few weeks of treatment, scar tissue will form to help bond the tissue back together, but the scar tissue must be broken down for the tendon to regain flexibility, which will help prevent future injury. Continued chiropractic can ensure that the scar tissue is broken down and that circulation is increased to the tissue.

If you’re experiencing tendonitis pain, it’s time to start the healing process without reliance on pain killers. For more information visit our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com or feel free to contact Dr. Brill and staff at 757-873-4131.
