TENDONITIS PAIN RELIEF
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR TENDONITIS

How ACUPUNCTURE Can Help with Tendonitis
Acupuncture alleviates the symptoms of tendonitis through several mechanisms. It activates the nervous system to release chemical compounds such as endorphins in the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. These chemicals change the perception of pain and enhance a feeling of well-being.
Acupuncture helps reduce swelling and inflammation around the affected tendon by triggering the release of immunomodulatory and vascular factors. Its anti-inflammatory effects support the body's natural healing processes.
By increasing blood circulation near the needle insertion points, more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the inflamed tissues, supporting recovery and healing. This enhanced flow promotes the body’s natural repair process.

Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive treatment for tendon issues that can relieve pain, improve mobility, and speed recovery. Treatment plans vary based on the condition's severity and duration.
Tendonitis, also known as tendinitis, is a condition where a tendon becomes inflamed and irritated, typically leading to swelling, pain, and discomfort.
Acupuncture can be a helpful complementary therapy for tendonitis, offering pain relief, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation. By targeting specific points, it may trigger natural pain relievers and enhance blood flow to the tendon, aiding healing.
Tendonitis can develop from repeated actions like overhead reaching, gardening, playing tennis 🎾 and pickleball. It often leads to ongoing pain or discomfort, which may worsen with specific movements and can be accompanied by swelling.
Common Tendonitis Signs and Symptoms
Tendonitis, which can affect any tendon but is most common in the elbow, knee, shoulder, hip, and Achilles, isn't always caused by impact. A related condition, tenosynovitis, often affects the fingers. Common signs and symptoms includes:

PAIN THAT IS AGGRAVATED BY MOVEMENT

A DULL-ACHE NEAR A JOINT

SWELLING AND TENDERNESS
