Tendon pain treatment should be commenced as soon as possible, once the pain or discomfort starts. Even early tendon niggles should not be ignored, as they have the potential to become chronic, and without the correct interventions and guidance, may even weaken and tear the tendon. Our team of health professionals can provide assessment and hands on support, throughout your Cairns tendinopathy treatment.
Tendinopathy (previously called tendinitis or tendonitis) is when a tendon has become inflamed or irritated. A tendon is the strong connective tissue that connects the muscle to bone. Tendons play an important role in energy storage, through their tensile or ‘spring’ like properties. A tendinopathy is a degenerative condition of the tendon, that results in abnormal tissue repair. Our tendinopathy treatment Cairns can help.
Multiple factors can contribute to or cause tendinopathy. This can include, but is not limited to, poor biomechanics, muscle weakness, poor training patterns, an abusive exercise program (overload and overuse). All of these can lead to a weakening of the tendon structure and the onset of tendinopathy, or a tendon tear. If this happens you will experience pain, reduced function and decreased exercise tolerance.
Your Cairns tendinopathy treatment begins with a thorough physical assessment. We’ll work with you to examine all of the potential causes of your tendinopathy, and develop an effective treatment plan, designed to get you back to doing what you love doing, faster. Note: In many cases, evidence points to non-operative management as delivering the same, if not greater outcomes, than surgery.

Referrals are not necessary to book our Cairns tendinopathy treatment and assessment and as above, you should book an appointment at the earliest presentation of pain. Also, please note that if you are considering orthopaedic surgery for a tendon tear, it’s important to engage with a physiotherapist as soon as possible before and after the surgery, to enable you to return to full strength and movement. Early physiotherapy tendinitis treatment Cairns may even prevent the need for surgery.
