Find relief from damaged tendons with our help.
The tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscles to the bones are known as the tendons. Your tendons play a critical role in transmitting force generated by your muscles to your bones, allowing your joints to move. Damaged tendons can occur due to a variety of factors, such as overuse, trauma, aging, and certain medical conditions.
One of the most common causes of damaged tendons is tendonitis. This is an inflammation of a tendon typically caused by overuse or repetitive strain. Commonly seen in athletes, tendonitis can affect the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. Symptoms include pain, swelling, tenderness, and restricted movement of the affected joint. Other common causes of damaged tendons include tendon tears, tendon dislocation, and tendinosis, all of which can cause pain and issues with the affected joint.
