How is tendonitis
treated?
Treatment of tendonitis involves
resting the involved tendon and
decreasing inflammation.
Rest
Resting the involved
tendon through avoidance of increased
activity or even immobilizing the area
is the first mode of treatment.
Steroids
Steroid injections
provided by your physician or non
steroidal anti inflammatory medications
can directly decrease inflammation and
the pain associated with
tendonitis.
Physical Therapy
Physical
therapy to gently stretch and
strengthen the affected tendon is vital
to recovering and preventing future
tendonitis episodes.
