Athlete’s Tendinitis Treatment in Madipakkam

Tendons connect muscles to bones and can become inflamed from overuse or repetitive motion. Dr. Arun Kumar provides specialized treatment for athlete’s tendinitis to reduce pain, restore mobility, and get you back to your sport safely.

Before Tendinitis Treatment

What is Athlete’s Tendinitis?

Athlete’s tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon caused by repeated stress during sports or training. Common forms include:

  • Achilles tendinitis (runners, footballers)
  • Patellar tendinitis or jumper’s knee (basketball, volleyball players)
  • Tennis or golfer’s elbow (racket and throwing sports)
  • Shoulder tendinitis (swimmers, weightlifters)

It often develops gradually and worsens with continued strain if untreated.
