Neuragenex NFPM Tendonitis Treatment To Manage Pain

Tendonitis can occur in various parts of the body, but some areas are more prone to develop this condition due to repetitive movements or overuse. These include:

• The elbow: There are several types of elbow tendonitis, including golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). These conditions affect the tendons on the inside and outside of the elbow, respectively. They are often caused by repetitive arm movements, such as those involved in sports or manual labor.
  

• Hand and wrist: Because we use our hands and wrists so much in daily activities, these areas are also prone to developing tendonitis.
  
  • De Quervain’s tenosynovitis: This is a common form of hand and wrist tendonitis that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It’s often caused by repetitive hand and wrist movements, such as using a computer mouse or typing.
    
  • Extensor tendonitis (dorsal tendonitis): Extensor tendonitis is another type that affects the tendons on the back of the hand and wrist, often caused by repetitive activities such as typing or playing musical instruments.
    
  • Trigger finger: Trigger finger is caused by inflammation in the tendons of the fingers, making it difficult for them to bend or straighten smoothly. This can occur on any finger but is most common on the middle or ring fingers. It’s often caused by repetitive gripping or grasping activities.

• Shoulder: Shoulder tendonitis is caused by repetitive overhead movements or lifting heavy objects and can cause pain and limited range of motion. Two common types of shoulder tendonitis are:
  
  • Rotator cuff tendonitis: This condition affects the tendons that connect the muscles around the shoulder joint, causing pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It’s caused by repetitive overhead movements, particularly in sports like baseball or tennis.
    
  • Bicep tendonitis: Bicep tendonitis occurs when the tendons that attach to the bicep muscle become inflamed, leading to discomfort and weakness in the arm. It’s caused by repetitive and strenuous arm movements, such as lifting weights or playing sports.

• Knee: The knees are often affected by tendonitis due to the amount of pressure and stress they endure during physical activity. Some types of knee tendonitis include:
  
  • Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee): This condition affects the patellar tendon (which is the tendon that connects the shinbone to the kneecap). It’s often caused by repetitive jumping or running, leading to pain and inflammation in the area.
    
  • Iliotibial band syndrome: IT band syndrome occurs when the iliotibial band (which is a band of tissue that runs along the outside of the thigh) becomes inflamed. It often occurs in runners or cyclists, due to repetitive leg movements.

• Hip: The hip is another area prone to developing tendonitis. This is because the tendons in the hip area are responsible for supporting the upper body’s weight and can become overused or strained. Hip tendonitis is typically caused by overuse or injury, leading to pain and limited mobility.
• Foot and ankle: Like the hand and the wrist, the foot and ankle are also used frequently in everyday activities, making them susceptible to tendonitis. Some types of foot and ankle tendonitis include:
  
  • Achilles tendonitis: This condition affects the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the heel bone to the calf muscles). It’s often caused by overuse or repetitive strain, particularly in sports like running or jumping.
  • Posterior tibial tendonitis: This type of tendonitis affects the posterior tibial tendon (the tendon that runs along the inside of the ankle and foot). It’s often caused by overuse or injury, leading to pain and discomfort in the arch of the foot.
    

The Neuragenex NFPM Protocol For Managing Tendonitis Pain

The protocol involves the use of the Neuragenex Neurofunctional Pain Management approach, which means we treat the underlying neurological factors contributing to tendonitis pain. The whole-person treatment plan involves the following drug-free, non-opioid, non-surgical, non-invasive, and non-chiropractic treatment modalities:
