🔍 Tendinosis vs. Tendonitis: What’s the Difference?
Tendon pain can slow you down, but not all tendon issues are the same! Tendinosis and tendonitis are often confused, but understanding the difference is key to getting the right treatment.
🔹 Tendonitis = Short-term inflammation caused by overuse or strain
🔹 Tendinosis = Long-term tendon degeneration without inflammation
Treatment Approaches:
✔️ Tendonitis: Rest, ice, and short-term anti-inflammatory treatments
✔️ Tendinosis: Progressive loading exercises, manual therapy, and rehab to rebuild tendon strength
At Northwest Rehab Group, we specialize in physiotherapy and chiropractic care to help you recover properly and prevent re-injury.
