Treatment for Chronic Tendon Disease (Chronic Tendonitis) in Freehold & Monroe Township, NJ

Chronic Tendon Disease Freehold NJ Tendons are rope-like bundles or bands of strong, smooth fibers that attach muscle to bone. They are designed to withstand tension and transfer force from the muscle to the bone to produce the movement of joints.

Occasionally, with repetitive or prolonged activities, forceful exertion, awkward or static postures, or localized mechanical stress, tendon fibers can tear apart in much the same way a rope becomes frayed, causing the tendon to become inflamed. This inflammation of the tendon is called tendonitis, and it can cause pain, tenderness, and mild swelling at the point where the tendon attaches to the bone. Most cases of tendinitis respond to self-care measures, but if not treated properly, the symptoms may persist, leading to chronic tendon disease.

Chronic tendinitis can occur in any tendon, but it most frequently affects the tendons around the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels. Some of the most common types of tendinitis are associated with certain sports that involve repetitive motions, such as:

Tennis elbow
Golfer’s elbow
Swimmer’s shoulder
Jumper’s knee
Pitcher’s shoulder
