Back Pain and Tendonitis Part 1

Introduction

Tendonitis is most commonly caused by overuse or an injury to a particular tendon, such as a sports injury or repetitive strain injury (RSI). Tendonitis usually occurs at the thumb, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, heal and wrist, but can occur anywhere there is a tendon.

Tendonitis is difficult to diagnose as it shares many symptoms with Bursitis and Arthritis and other more localized conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at the wrist. Tendonitis can be caused by acute or repetitive traumatic elongation to the tendon or repetitive stress through overuse of the joint. Tendonitis (or tendinitis) is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon, which is any one of the thick fibrous cords that attach muscles to bone.

Tendonitis can occasionally be linked to other medical conditions, such as diabetes or gout and tenosynovitis may be linked to rheumatoid arthritis. Tendonitis and tenosynovitis improve with treatment and using ultrasound can often speed up recovery from tendonitis.

Tendonitis Running Orthotics. A silicone full-length insole with anti shock zones (pair) absorbs shock and comforts the foot and the arch region while running. Warm up and warm down creams that relieve muscular fatigue and supply instant healing. Back pain in 19 out of 20 people is linked to the way the bones, ligaments and muscles of the back work together. Four in five adults experience back pain at some point, but the back is so complex every person needs individual treatment options.

Everyone can be affected by back pain, but it's more common in those who are overweight or who sit slouching for long periods of time. How to avoid back pain maintain correct weight exercises for back and abdominal muscles (carried out while lying down) wear comfortable flat or low heel shoes (soft and well padded if long walk) firm sleeping mattress correct lifting by squat dawn in knee-bend and keeping back upright.

Treatment

TREATMENT OF TENDONITIS. Rest, Ice Compression, anti-inflammatory medication, cease all sporting activities and try and stay off your feet as much as possible. Treatment: Many of these cases can be treated by physiotherapy methods and will have good result without side effect (massage, interferential, ultra-sound and mobilisation techniques) otherwise they can be treated by painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs but some will have side effect if use for long time.

Treatment: physiotherapy: ultra-sound, laser, interferential, gentle massage with special ointment and regular exercises of the joints and muscle strength diet; to control the weight and health (celery seed tablets, parsley tea) homeopathic remedies (arnica, bryonia alba or pulsatilla) anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers (common procedure) the surgery - the joint may have to be replaced by prosthesis (artificial joint) but it is a long operation with enormous impact on the general health (very often not successful). Treatment approaches for Achilles tendonitis or tendonosis are selected on the basis of how long the injury has been present and the degree of damage to the tendon.
