Tendinitis refers to irritation or overload of a tendon—the tissue that connects muscle to bone—and commonly develops with repetitive motion or sudden increases in activity. Symptoms often include localized pain, tenderness, stiffness, or swelling that worsen with use. While rest and activity modification may help, symptoms can persist when underlying contributors are not addressed.

At The Essential Healing Center, we recognize that tendon pain is rarely isolated to the tendon itself. Joint mechanics, connective tissue tension, circulation, nerve input, and even spinal influences all affect how stress is distributed through the body. Through a comprehensive, hands-on osteopathic evaluation, we identify contributing patterns beyond the painful area and address them as an integrated whole. Care is focused on reducing unnecessary strain, improving tissue mobility and circulation, and supporting a more complete and durable recovery over time.
