Tendonitis
A tendonitis is the swelling of a tendon structure, as a consequence of major traumas or repeated minor traumas. Symptoms: local swelling, pain and loss of functional capability. Treatment: -Avoid any activity that can continue causing local damage or irritation. -Careful rest, according to the severity of the swelling (because in the majority of cases there’s no need to immobilize). -Analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication. -Use of physical means: heat and cold, together with successive stretching and strengthening (they are both necessary and are done since the beginning of the treatment). -Local infiltrations with steroid anti-inflammatory medication (which has a local effect). |
