Tiaprofenic acid
Tendinopathy is a type of musculoskeletal disorder that affects the tendon, a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. It is characterized by pain, swelling, and impaired performance.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Tendinopathy is often caused by overuse of a certain body part, leading to a repetitive strain injury. Other causes include aging, certain diseases such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, and physical trauma.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The main symptoms of tendinopathy are pain and tenderness in the affected tendon. Other symptoms may include swelling, stiffness, and reduced strength in the affected area.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of tendinopathy is usually based on the patient's medical history and a physical examination. Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI may also be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for tendinopathy typically involves physical therapy, pain management, and sometimes surgery. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and restore function to the affected tendon.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
Prevention strategies for tendinopathy include regular exercise, proper ergonomics at work and home, and avoiding activities that put excessive strain on the tendons.
