Tendonitis (which is also sometimes spelled tendinitis) is a form of painful inflammation in the tendons, which are the chord-like parts of the body that connect muscles to bones. Usually caused by repetitive movements (like exercise or sitting in the same position for many hours), injuries or built-up inflammation over time, tendonitis can cause a lot of pain.
*Chronic tendonitis is a dull but constant soreness that feels worse when you first start to move. It then eases up as muscles get warmer.
*Acute tendonitis is a sharper pain that may keep you from moving the joint. The pain may eventually go away. But it's likely to return if the stressful motion is repeated.
Some of the common areas of the body where tendonitis can develop include the knees, shoulders, heels, elbows, wrists, hips and hands. Different types of tendonitis go by various names depending on how and where it forms, for example:

*Golfer’s elbow

* Chiropractic treatments — Either a trained chiropractor or physical therapist can assess your posture and give you tips for performing certain activities in a safer way. Your chiropractor could be your newest antioxidant because the researched benefits of chiropractic adjustments are plentiful. For example, if you regularly do work that involves standing and moving, or you’re experiencing pain when exercising, both professionals can show you helpful techniques related to stretching, flexibility and proper posture to lower the chance or injuries.
