Massage on the understanding espaldaPodemos tendinitis and inflammation of the tendons. These are fibrous structures that are responsible for transmitting the force generated by muscle to bone or visceral parts that made the movement.
The tendon has a greater density than muscle belly which makes stretching capacity is less. That is why the suffering of these structures to repetitive movements and heavy is greater than the one that supports the same muscle.
leading cause of tendinitis espaldaLa are predatory movements performed badly in both daily life and in sports. But not a single cause, sometimes next infection, falls and other pathologies can trigger this injury (arthritis, arthrosis).
The tendon allows the mobility of the body serving as a link between muscle and bone to allow joint. Therefore, most symptoms are related to pain and functional impotence in making a motion and increased discomfort when trying to do. The pain may be aggravated during the night by the work done throughout the day and the tendon may appear visible swelling or inflammation if left unchecked on time.
Treatment for tendonitis depends on its cause, it is essential to address the why rather than the injury itself, to achieve maximum effectiveness. It also depends on the type of tendon that is injured and its location.
As general guidelines for the care of this condition, we include measures to combat inflammation from all angles. This involves taking medication, physiotherapy support, the application of hot-cold contrast, and perform relative rest.
At first, in the acute phase of injury, you should make a pattern of relative rest, ice and anti-inflammatories until the pain diminishes. Progressively, we will increase resources for treatment, including strengthening and stretching of the muscles involved, local measures for inflammation (massage, ultrasound, mobilization), and rehabilitation of the positions that can cause damage to the tendon. If this is unsuccessful we can use a less conservative treatment requiring infiltration and, in some specific cases, including reconstructive surgery because the tendon fibers may be damaged.
