Tendonitis
Tendons are thick fibrous cords connecting muscle to bone. Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of the tendon. This results in pain and tenderness near the joint.
The most common areas of tendonitis are your shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels.
Various tendonitis problems are known by the following names:
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Jumper’s knee
- Swimmer’s shoulder
Treatment For Tendonitis
Acousana therapy is a highly effective, non-invasive approach to treating mild to severe tendonitis with success rates over 86%.
Acousana utilizes patented SoftWave® technology to stimulate your body’s natural healing response by increasing blood flow by up to 300%, quickly reducing inflammation and therefore, getting rid of the pain associated with the condition.
Acousana therapy uses patented electrohydraulic SoftWaves® that are delivered through the skin using ultrasound gel. The SoftWaves trigger a natural biological response which initiates a healing process by increasing blood flow and improving circulation.
The SoftWaves “fool” the body into thinking that “damage” has occurred, when in reality, no damage has taken place. This response initiates your body’s natural self-repair process by reducing inflammation and thereby eliminating pain.
Arm Across The Chest
This stretch is done by keeping your right hand near your waist while holding it out in front of you. You can now pull the right arm across the chest with the left hand while pulling the left arm from behind the elbow. Be careful not to lift the arm to the point of pain. Stay in this position for 30 to 50 seconds. Repeat this stretch three to five times.
Wrist Range of Motion
Gently bend your wrist forward. Hold for 5 seconds. Gently bend your wrist backward. Hold for 5 seconds. Do 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
Repeat the same process but moving the wrist side-to-side.
Wrist Curl (Palm Up, Palm Down)
Lay your forearm on a table with the wrist extended past the edge of the table. Begin with the palm facing up and place a light weight in your hand. Rotate your wrist up and then slowly back down below the plane of the table. You should perform this stretch slowly and feel the muscles stretching within your forearm. Repeat this stretch with the palm facing down. This should be performed 10 times for 3 sets.
