Tendinopathy
Tendinopathy refers to any disorder or condition that affects a tendon. Tendons are rope-like tissues that connect the muscles to the bones. Thus, tendinopathy tends to occur as a result of an injury or overuse of a tendon. Common tendinopathies includes rotator cuff tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and golfer’s elbow. Patients with tendinopathy may experience pain, tenderness, difficulty moving a joint, weakness, and a burning sensation.
