Would you like to know more about the rehabilitation of tendinitis complaints (tendinitis) around the shoulder? Read more on this page or make an appointment with one of our fysiotherapists.
The treatment process for tendonitis complaints (inflammation of the tendon) depends on the severity of the tendinitis (inflammation) and the degree of stiffness of the shoulder. Read more on this page.
Do you have tendinitis complaints (tendon inflammation) or a partially torn tendon? Make an appointment here.
Tendonitis causes pain around the shoulder, sometimes radiating into the arm. Tendonitis can be caused by overloading the tendon, but also by trauma (fall on the shoulder). In addition, tendinitis can develop if the head and socket of the shoulder joint do not move properly relative to each other (positional fault). This is often preceded by a pain stimulus, as a result of which the shoulder avoids the pain stimulus and moves incorrectly. Also, your attitude can't be right. It is an annoying complaint that can persist for a long time if it is not recognized and treated in time. Tendonitis can lead to frozen shoulder, which can take up to two years to recover from.
The most commonly affected tendinitis is that of the biceps tendon (long head biceps) and the supraspinatus tendon.
The biceps tendon extends into the shoulder joint and is often damaged as a result of overload or compression. The supraspinatus tendon is an important structure for lifting the arm and is therefore often affected (overstretched).
Ultrasound can be used to map the tendons and other structures around the shoulder. An ultrasound often shows which structure (muscle, tendon or bursa) is affected. Thus, the treatment plan can be drawn up specifically for the affected structure. Our practice has access to an ultrasound machine. As the fysioIf the therapist considers it necessary to make an ultrasound of the shoulder, we can schedule this quickly.
Your rehabilitation is specifically aimed at the goals you have set. The first phase is to control the pain and improve the mobility of the shoulder. After that, the load capacity of the shoulder must be improved. Finally, there will be sport-specific training.
During the intake, your shoulder problem will be mapped out on the basis of an interview and a physical examination.
After the intake, a treatment plan is drawn up and discussed. It tells you what the best treatment is for you.
If you have shoulder complaints (tendinitis complaints or a partial tendon tear) you will be treated according to one of our care plans. This care plan has been specially developed for shoulder complaints and shows good results.
Tests are taken at fixed times and questionnaires are completed to monitor your rehabilitation. The outcome is evaluated and the treatment plan adjusted if necessary.
After the intake, it can be decided to make an ultrasound of your shoulder to assess whether a tendon is the source of the complaint. Manual therapy and/or taping may be considered, but often information and remedial therapy are the most obvious treatment strategies. In addition, dry needling can be chosen to improve the mobility of the shoulder joint and to reduce pain.
