Laser Treatment for Tendonitis Issue

Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon — the thick fibrous cords that attach muscle to bone. The condition causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint. While tendinitis can occur in any of your tendons, it’s most common around your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees and heels.

Although tendinitis can be caused by a sudden injury, the condition is much more likely to stem from the repetition of a particular movement over time. Most people develop tendinitis because their jobs or hobbies involve repetitive motions, which put stress on the tendons.

The symptoms of tendinitis tend to occur at the point where a tendon attaches to a bone and typically include:

·         Pain is often described as a dull ache, especially when moving the affected limb or joint

·         Tenderness

·         Mild swelling

There are multiple types of treatments for this issue. Recently, however, Low-Level Laser Therapy has proved to be among the most effective.

LLLT is the application of red and near-infrared light over injuries to stimulate cellular repair. LLLT has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect as well as a healing effect on the inflamed tendons of Achilles Tendonitis and surrounding inflamed soft tissues. LLLT has proved to be completely safe and has no effect on normal tissues.

It is of importance to note, however, that the quality of the laser machine used for such type of treatment should be highly considered as it directly impacts and even augments recovery chances.
