Tendonitis

Tendonitis is a condition where a tendon — the strong tissue that connects muscle to bone — becomes irritated or inflamed. This can lead to pain, tenderness, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint.

For many adults, tendonitis develops slowly and starts to interfere with work, exercise, or everyday tasks. At Spring Hill Chiropractic, we help patients understand why their tendon is irritated and focus on restoring healthy movement so the tendon can heal properly — not just covering up the pain.

Tendonitis is most often caused by repetitive use, improper movement, or overloading a joint without enough recovery time. When a tendon is stressed again and again, small areas of irritation can build up and lead to ongoing pain.

Common causes include:

• Repetitive motions at work or during hobbies
• Poor movement patterns or lifting technique
• Muscle imbalances that overload a tendon
• Sudden increases in activity or exercise
• Prolonged gripping, typing, or tool use
• Lack of proper rest and recovery

Our goal is to support tendon healing by improving how your joints, muscles, and movement patterns work together. During your visit, Dr. [Name] will evaluate how you move, identify areas of overload, and explain what’s contributing to your symptoms.

Your personalized care plan may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mechanics and reduce stress on the tendon
• Soft tissue therapy to ease tight or overworked muscles
• Targeted movement and rehab exercises to promote healthy tendon loading and healing
• Education on posture, work habits, and activity modification to prevent flare-ups

We focus on helping you heal fully and return to activity with confidence — not just managing symptoms.

• Local, family-friendly care for Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and Columbia
• Affordable options to make care accessible
• Same-week appointments when possible
• Clear explanations so you understand your condition and recovery plan
• A movement-based approach focused on long-term joint and tendon health

Don’t let tendon pain limit your work, workouts, or everyday activities. With proper care and movement support, many people see meaningful improvement and return to what they love.
