Tendonitis of the Arm

Tendonitis of the Arm
Specific Locations of Tendonitis

If you think that you have Tendonitis of the Arm, let's get more specific.

It is true that everything is connected, and everything works together. And, it would be great to treat your ENTIRE arm structure.

Still, you may need to focus on one are specifically.

So.

If you have.....

Wrist Tendonitis

Wrist Tendonitis is pain in the wrist area.

The problem can be at or near the wrist itself, and/or down into the hand and up into the forearm.

Forearm muscles and connective tissue structures are a main cause of wrist problem.

It is also important to differentiate between Wrist Tendonitis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Tennis Elbow (and Golfer's Elbow)

Tennis Elbow is a Tendonitis dynamic on the back-of-the-hand side of the forearms at/near the elbow.

Golfer's Elbow is the same thing, but on the opposite side of the forearm.

A tendinitis dynamic in the forearm can cause pain, weakness, and limitation in use of the hand, and use of the entire arm.

You can get Tennis Elbow from sports activity, or working the computer, or from a hobby knitting.

Bicep Tendonitis

People with Bicep Tendonitis usually complain of pain when straightening their arm, and/or when bending their arm.

They also complain that they -can't- straighten their arm out.

Biceps Tendonitis occurs when the biceps muscles are too tight and short, the connective tissue is too tight/short, and then suddenly the body can't compensate for it and you have pain.

Essentially, you hurt because your body is trying to stop you from what it thinks is 'pulling your structures apart'

Triceps Tendonitis

I don't have a page built yet for Triceps Tendonitis, but it's essentially the same as Bicep Tendonitis.

Shoulder Tendonitis

Shoulder Tendonitis means that one or more of the tendons of the shoulder cuff (and the muscles/connective tissue attached to the tendons, of course) are irritated and inflammed.

This can get a bit tricky because there's a lot of real estate to cover, and many different moving parts.

Muscle imbalance can actually cause pain, as one part is overworked and some other(s) are 'weak'.

Or one or more of the tendons can get irritated from Repetitive Use.

Whiplash and Neck Tendonitis

How can a neck problem be part of Tendonitis of the Arm?

Easy.

Neck muscles and connective tissue structures attach to structures at the top of the shoulder, including clavicle, top two ribs, and shoulder muscle connective tissue structures.

A problem in the neck can cause arm pain, and can cause the body to tighten up arm muscles which can cause, lead to, or mimic pain in the arm.
