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.

Dealing with Tendonitis issue, the [Physiotherapy Diode Laser System. SIFLASER-1.41](https://sifsof.com/product/physiotherapy-diode-laser-system-siflaser-1-41/)
has often been specialists’ top choice as it proved its high efficacy in treating
such an issue.

Indeed, this Laser therapy machine has a wide range of clinical applications, including
painful tendon issues typically like the problem in hand.  

With a low-level 10W laser power, The device is mainly being used for tendon pain
relief meaning it will work on relieving patients from recurrent pain, stiffness
and swelling feelings.

Unlike many pharmacological treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms
of disease, Laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology to promote
healing. This means that Tendonitis treatment is indeed effective and the benefits
of Laser Therapy are long-lasting.

To explain in more detail, The device is targeted in haemoglobin and cytochrome 
c oxidase. So, in sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation,
high power diode laser therapy will provide a warm and soothing feeling which is
the exact thing requested from Tendonitis patients.

Another advantage the device possesses is that it accelerates tissue repair and 
cell growth. That is, Photons of light from this laser machine will penetrate deeply
into the tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light
increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients
faster and get rid of waste products. At the end of this process, tendonitis patients
may feel relieved.

Without proper treatment, Tendonitis can increase your risk of experiencing tendon
rupture — a much more serious condition that may require surgery. Luckily, Laser
therapy has been developed to provide accurate therapeutic services for this specific
issue.

Accordingly, Tendonitis patients can get reassured and less sensitive to stiffness
and swelling as long as SIFLASER-1.41 is specifically designed to provide them with
the needed treatment that will effectively restore their physical function and life
comfort.
