If you’ve been dealing with a nagging Achilles, knee, shoulder, or elbow issue that keeps flaring up every few weeks, there’s a good chance the problem isn’t what you think it is.
Most active adults assume tendon pain = tendonitis (inflammation).
But more often, it’s actually tendinosis, a long-term breakdown of the tendon caused by repeated overload.
Here’s the key difference:
Tendonitis responds to rest. Tendinosis does NOT.
That’s why so many people get stuck in the cycle of:
rest → feel better → start training again → pain returns.
If you want long-term relief and to actually stay active, you need to know which one you’re dealing with because the treatment is completely different.
At Resolve Chiropractic, we take a performance-based approach to tendon pain:
✔ One-on-one assessment
✔ Clear diagnosis
✔ Personalized loading progressions
✔ A plan that gets you back to training and keeps you there
If you’re tired of the repeat flare-ups, we can help you break the cycle for good.
