What is Shoulder Tendonitis?
Shoulder tendonitis is a common condition that can affect anyone who engages in activities that require repetitive shoulder movements, such as throwing sports, swimming, weightlifting, or manual labor. The inflamed rotator cuff tendons cause pain, stiffness, and decreased range of motion. Our specialists perform a thorough medical history review and physical examination to diagnose shoulder tendonitis accurately. Medical imaging studies such as X-rays and MRIs may be ordered to rule out the possibility of a tendon tear. Non-surgical treatment options are the first line of defense for shoulder tendonitis, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, rest and ice, physical therapy, and injections. These treatments are prescribed as part of a customized treatment plan, and our specialists monitor progress closely to ensure the best possible outcome. With proper treatment, symptoms can be reduced quickly, and the chances of shoulder tendonitis returning are greatly reduced.
