Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We reduce tendon inflammation through targeted exercises (eccentric strengthening), rest from aggravating activities, and manual therapy. Correcting movement patterns and load management prevents recurrence. In Palm Beach County, tendonitis is common among both active individuals and those with repetitive job tasks. At our Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, or Wellington clinics, early treatments usually aim to calm inflammation—using ice, ultrasound, or gentle massage. Then, we introduce controlled loading, such as eccentric exercises, to rebuild tendon resilience. We also educate you on ergonomics or sport-specific mechanics that contribute to tendon overuse, ensuring you return to your usual activities with a healthier approach.

Key Benefits:
Typical resolution occurs in 4–8 weeks for mild to moderate cases. Chronic or severe tendonitis may take longer. By adhering to your tailored exercise plan, you’ll steadily regain strength and flexibility in the affected area. We’ll periodically evaluate your pain levels and functional capacity, adjusting load progression to ensure long-lasting improvements and minimal risk of recurrence.
Is tendonitis the same as tendinosis?
Not exactly. Tendinitis implies inflammation, while tendinosis refers to more chronic, degenerative changes. We tailor treatment accordingly.
Can I continue my normal sports routine?
We may advise modifying or temporarily reducing intense activities until your tendon recovers enough to handle the load.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
