Treatment of Tendinitis

Resting the injured area along with application of ice pack on the day of the injury are the most effective initial treatments for Tendinitis. Anti-inflammatory medications should be taken if the pain and swelling are too severe.

Treatment to relieve pain includes resting the joint (by immobilizing it with a sling, splint, or cast), pain medication, applying cold or heat, ultrasound therapy, or local injection of an anesthetic and corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.

A mixture of a corticosteroid and an anesthetic, such as Xylocaine, generally provides immediate pain relief. Extended-release injections of corticosteroids offer longer pain relief.

The Ayurvedic treatment of tendinitis is aimed at treating the damage to the tendon, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Commonly used medicines for this purpose are: Triphala-Guggulu, Trayo-Dashang-Guggulu, Yograj-Guggulu, Maha-Rasnadi-Guggulu, Maha-Rasnadi-Qadha, Maha-Vat-Vidhwans-Ras, Ekangveer-Ras and Agnitundi-Ras.

To prevent feet and ankle tendinitis, be sure to stretch properly before exercising. Stretch your hamstrings (the muscles in the backs of your thighs) your calf muscles and your feet. Roll your feet and ankles in circles going both directions and point and flex your feet.

Causes of tendinitis

Tendinitis is a the connecting link of the muscles, tissues and bones which is a cord. Inflammation of this cord caused by too much usage of the muscles and any injury that might have occurred results in this kind of pain in the neck and shoulder regions. Upper back pain, pain in the left shoulder and the neck are caused by rotator cuff injuries.

Tendinitis is typically caused when there is repeated minor impact to that particular area. It can sometimes also be caused by a sudden and more serious injury. Some of the activities that commonly cause this include gardening, painting, carpentry, skiing, scrubbing, raking, golfing and shoveling.

Tendinitis can be prevented by consistently stretching muscles, especially the ones that get more use than the others. This causes the tendon's link to the muscle to increase in length and become more flexible and therefore, less likely to tear.
