Your tendons connect muscle to bone, working hard every single day. When these fibrous tissues become inflamed, even basic movements can hurt. Whether it’s tennis elbow, runner’s knee, or pain in your shoulder, wrist, or ankle, tendonitis doesn’t have to sideline you. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free approach that treats both the symptoms and the underlying cause.
What Causes Tendons to Get Inflamed
Tendonitis typically develops from repetitive motions at work or during sports. Painters, carpenters, office workers who spend hours typing, and athletes all face increased risk. Despite its name, tendonitis isn’t always about inflammation. Often, the tendons undergo degenerative changes in their structure, making them more susceptible to pain and injury. Age plays a role too, as tissues recover more slowly over time.
A Whole-Body Natural Approach to Healing
Here’s what makes chiropractic care different. We don’t just focus on the painful area. Misalignments in your spine or other joints may create abnormal stress patterns throughout your body, making you prone to tendon problems. Woodstock Chiropractic begins with a thorough evaluation of your posture, gait, joint motion, and spinal alignment. This helps us identify imbalances that contribute to your pain.
Treatment combines several effective techniques. Spinal adjustments improve how your nervous system functions, allowing your body to heal more efficiently. The Graston® technique uses specialized instruments to break down scar tissue and promote proper tissue repair. Cold laser therapy accelerates healing without pain or side effects.
“We use hands-on treatment therapies to help relieve your pain and regain your health,” explains the team at Woodstock Chiropractic. Corrective exercises strengthen weak areas and restore flexibility. Patients throughout Portland benefit from this approach backed by decades of clinical experience.
Most cases heal within two to six weeks with proper treatment and rest from aggravating activities. Our goal is to help you heal and improve your overall wellness naturally, without medications or surgery.
