Tendinopathy

Tendinopathy, chronic tendon pain, tightness, and degradation that can make everyday movement feel like a massive hurdle. Whether you are dealing with tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff strain, or runner’s knee, these repetitive strain injuries often stall in a state of chronic inflammation and poor circulation.

Our Excelsior practice specializes in breaking this painful cycle. By combining the structural alignment of Chiropractic care with the deep tissue decompression of Cupping Therapy or shockwave, we address both the structural root cause and the soft tissue damage to accelerate your path to fluid, pain-free recovery.

Common Tendinopathies We Treat

Our integrated approach is highly effective for active adults and athletes suffering from:

  • Achilles Tendinopathy (Heel and lower calf pain)

  • Plantar Fasciitis (Sharp heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning)

  • Patellar Tendinopathy (Runner’s or Jumper’s Knee)

  • Lateral & Medial Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow)

  • Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (Deep shoulder pain and weakness when lifting overhead)

  • Gluteal Tendinopathy (Deep hip pain often triggered by side-sleeping or running)

What to Expect During Your Recovery Journey

  • Targeted Assessment: We map your specific movements to pinpoint exactly which joints are misaligned and which tendons are restricted.

  • Synergistic Treatment: During your visit, we utilize specialized cupping techniques, shockwave therapy and dry needling to instantly release the soft tissue tension, immediately followed by precise chiropractic adjustments to lock in your alignment.

  • Active Recovery: We partner with you to provide simple, targeted home-care strategies to strengthen the tendon as it heals, ensuring long-term resilience.
