Treatment Options
Treatment for tendonitis varies according to its severity, the tendon(s) involved, the activity level or desired activity level of the patient and the patient’s age. More often than not, conservative (non-surgical) care resolves the problem. This may include various types of injections, immobilization or orthotics.
Physical therapy is also common.
In severe cases of tendonitis, or if there is tearing of the tendon, surgical intervention may be needed. This may include removing damaged tendon material, fixing tears and/or cleaning out the tendon sheath.
