Tendons connect muscles to bones and play an essential role in movement. Because they are used constantly, tendons can become irritated or damaged over time, especially with repetitive activities.
Early symptoms of a tendon injury often include mild pain during movement, tenderness around a joint, stiffness after resting, or swelling near the affected area. Many people ignore these warning signs and continue their usual activities, which can lead to more serious damage.
Common tendon injuries affect the shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. Athletes, active individuals, and people with physically demanding jobs are particularly at risk.
Early treatment typically includes activity modification, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory treatments, and exercises that gradually restore strength and flexibility. Addressing the injury before it worsens often leads to a faster recovery.
At CWOPS, we provide comprehensive evaluations to identify tendon injuries early and develop treatment plans that support healing while helping patients return safely to their daily activities.
