 | | Tendinitis (also known as tendonitis) is an inflammation of a tendon (a band of fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bone) that causes pain, tenderness and occasionally, restricted movement of the muscle attached to the affected tendon. | | | Elbow tendinitis affects the lateral epicondyle and the medial epicondyle. | | | Tendinitis can affect four different tendons of the foot - the achilles tendon, the posterior tibial tendon, the anterior tibial tendon and the peroneal tendon. |

| | Tendinitis |
| | The pain of tendinitis is usually worse with activities that use the muscle that is attached to the involved tendon. | | | Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon — any one of the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bone. | | | If tendinitis is severe and leads to the rupture of a tendon, you may need surgical repair. |

| | Tendinitis |
| | Tendinitis is the painful inflammation of a tendon and its ligaments, which attach it to the bone. | | | Acupuncturists report that patients with tendinitis frequently exhibit a primary deficiency in the liver meridian, with a relative excess in the gallbladder meridian. | | | Although no well-designed studies have examined the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for tendinitis, chiropractors commonly treat this condition with ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, manual trigger point therapy (applying firm pressure by hand on a trigger point for several seconds and then stretching the muscle afterwards), and massage. |

| | The symptoms of Sever's traction apophysitis are suggestive of Achilles tendinitis except that the discomfort or pain is localized to the posterior medial and lateral regions of the calcaneus. | | | In long-term or recalcitrant cases, however, a lateral view of the foot is necessary to investigate the possibility of calcification or ossification of the tendon or development of a prominent superior tuberosity of the calcaneus, which can put constant pressure on the retrocalcaneal bursae and Achilles tendon. | | | If the tendinitis is not treated, eventually even prolonged standing or sitting will elicit pain and stiffness. |

| | People with tendinitis may have symptoms, which appear after injury or overuse, including swelling, redness, tenderness, and sharp pain in the affected area, which is worsened with movement or pressure. | | | In a controlled trial, patients with tendinitis of the shoulder received 24 treatments over six weeks of either ultrasound or a sham treatment. | | | A controlled trial compared acupuncture to sham (fake) acupuncture in people with shoulder tendinitis and found that acupuncture treatment produced significantly higher scores on a combined measurement of pain, ability to perform daily activities, ability to move shoulder without pain, and strength. |

| | Tendinitis and bursitis also cause pain when the arm is lifted away from the body or overhead. | | | If tendinitis involves the biceps tendon (the tendon located in front of the shoulder that helps bend the elbow and turn the forearm), pain will occur in the front or side of the shoulder and may travel down to the elbow and forearm. | | | In tendinitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. |

| | As mentioned, calcific tendinitis is usually characterized by an acute onset of intense shoulder pain that is neither position- nor activity-dependent. | | | Calcific tendinitis is usually signaled by the rapid onset of pain that is unrelated to shoulder position or activity. | | | The vast majority of patients who have symptomatic calcific tendinitis respond to appropriate nonsurgical treatment, and no patient should be considered for surgery until the calcific deposit in question has been needled at least twice by an experienced practitioner. |

Another tendon, the infrapatellar tendon, connects the patella to the top of the tibia (shin bone). | | | The most common symptom is pain at the front or base of the kneecap. Pain may be particularly severe when jumping, running, kneeling, or walking down stairs, as these aggravate the injury. |
