Tendonitis Relief That Fits Your Life

Tendonitis can sneak into your routine—maybe it's a sore elbow that won't stop aching or a shoulder that stings every time you reach up. It might start small, but when it sticks around, even simple things—like carrying groceries or typing at your desk—can start to feel like too much.

You don’t have to live with that kind of pain. Care is close, and it’s personal.

What Is Tendonitis?

Tendonitis happens when a tendon—what connects your muscles to your bones—gets irritated or inflamed. It often shows up in your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees or heels.

It might start after repeating the same movement too often, like swinging a hammer, playing tennis, or lifting something the wrong way.

But no matter how it starts, the important part is what happens next.

When You Know Something’s Off

The pain might come and go at first. A dull ache. Swelling. Stiffness that makes mornings harder. But if it doesn’t go away with rest, or if it keeps coming back, it's time to get it looked at.

You know your body. That gut feeling? Trust it. We’ll help figure out what’s going on—and what can help.

Care That Moves With You

Treatment for tendonitis isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people feel better with rest and guided exercises. Others might need medicine, bracing, or help from a physical therapist. In rare cases, more advanced care is needed.

No matter what your path looks like, your care team will walk it with you—step by step, day by day.

We build plans that fit into your life, not the other way around.

Why Choose Rheumatology for Tendonitis?

Sometimes, tendonitis is more than an injury. If it keeps coming back—or shows up alongside joint pain, fatigue, or other symptoms—it could be linked to something deeper, like an autoimmune issue.

That’s where a rheumatology specialist comes in.

Our team looks beyond the surface. We ask the deeper questions. We listen carefully, treat gently, and stay by your side, no matter how long it takes to feel better.
