In the human body many skeletal bones are joined together with other skeletal bones through connective tissue. Different kinds of connective tissue have different names. For the most part, people know them as ligaments and — especially — tendons. Composed of very tough fibrous cords, tendons are seen all throughout the body.

Any tendon can be subject to tendonitis, though there are generally only a few areas around the body that experience the condition with any regularity. Probably the most well known area is in the elbow, and those afflicted by tendonitis are said to be experiencing “tennis elbow.” The formal medical name for the condition in the elbow is epicondylitis, by the way. Doctors have known about it for at least a century.

For the most part, tendonitis results from overuse and injury to the particular tendon in question. There are a few simple steps a person can take to treat and cure tendonitis, all without having to be seen by a physician in many cases. The first thing to do, of course, is to cease the activity that is causing the pain that is a result of tendonitis.

Most medical experts recommend that the cessation of the activity last for at least three weeks. Known as simple rest, it can be the most effective part of any tendonitis treatment regimen. Generally, 21 days or so is considered long enough to allow the tendon to heal itself and the inflammation to disappear. Along with rest comes immobilization or bracing or splinting of the area, logically enough.

In combination with rest and immobilization should be the use of of an over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen and maybe even a topical anti-inflammatory cream. Reevaluate after three weeks and then work the area with light warming up and stretching until it’s felt that the activity that caused the tendonitis can be resumed. In the future, don’t neglect warming up and stretching before physical exercise or activity.
