Tendinitis, Tendinopathy and Tendinosis
RICE
Tendinopathy Phases
Reactive Tendinopathy
Normal tissue adaptation phase
Prognosis: Excellent. Normal Recovery!
Rest the joint. Ice packs. Compress the area with an elastic bandage to ease soreness and inflammation. Elevate the joint that was affected.
Tennis elbow, quarterback shoulder, and jumper's knee.
Parts that are affected
rotator cuff of the shoulder, patellar tendon, knee cap, wrist, bursa, elbow, thumb. musculotendinous junction (where the tendon joins the muscle) mid-tendon (non-insertional tendinopathy)
tendon insertion (eg into bone)
Laser Treatment options:
Phonophoresis: This technique uses ultrasound to help anti-inflammatory creams absorb through the skin
Iontophoresis: Similar to phonophoresis, this technique uses electrical stimulation to help anti-inflammatories penetrate the skin.
Cortisone injections: Injections of this steroid medication can help significantly reduce the inflammation that comes with persistent tendonitis and bursitis.

What are tendons?
connective tissues that hold muscles to bones. When muscles contract, tendons react, causing bones to move. Too much stress on tendons can tear and inflame tendons.
Chronic tendonitis is a dull but constant soreness that feels worse when you first start to move. It then eases up as muscles get warmer.
Acute tendonitis is a sharper pain that may keep you from moving the joint. The pain may eventually go away. But it's likely to return if the stressful motion is repeated.
Your tendons are designed to withstand high, repetitive loading, however, on occasions, when the load being applied to the tendon is too great for the tendon to withstand, the tendon begins to become stressed.
