What Causes Tendinopathy?
Tendinitis and tendinopathy are caused by a number of different factors. Injuries, overuse injuries, repetitive motions, biomechanical problems within the body can all contribute to tendinitis or tendinopathy.
Tendinitis and tendinopathies are very common in the tendons of the glutes (i.e gluteal tendinopathy), hamstrings (i.e hamstring tendinopathy), knees (patellar tendinopathy, ‘Runner’s Knee’), elbow (i.e tennis elbow).
What Does Tendinitis or Tendonitis Mean?
It is confusing but both spellings are technically correct. Tendinitis simply means the condition is inflammatory (“itis”) in nature and within the tendon (“tendin”). Inflammation is the body’s first stage of tissue healing, and usually only lasts 5-6 days.
What Does Tendinopthay Mean?
Tendinopathy means the injury is non-inflammatory in nature but degenerative in nature, and within tendons, i.e it’s not an acute (i.e new) process but generally longstanding tendinosis or degenerative tendinopathy.

How We Treat Tendon Injuries Like Insertional Achilles Tendinitis
In tendinopathy, the body is slowly repairing itself and re-building collagen in a disorganized manner. This results in pain and damage to surrounding tissues that can lead to a limited range of motion and muscle weakness.
At Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy we offer physical therapy treatment for tendinopathies, using exercise to strengthen the tendons, alongside other therapies to ease pain. We also offer chiropractic care.
Physical Therapy Care
Physical therapy treatment usually begins with the identification of tendinitis or tendinopathy. The next course of action is to reduce any pain and increase the range of motion.
Our physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on therapies, such as massage therapy or deep tissue release, and joint mobilizations to reduce pain and increase range of motion.
Once the pain has significantly reduced – our physiotherapists will prescribe a gradual, goal-orientated exercise program to regain strength and endurance of the affected muscles and tendons and improve the function of the tissues.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a type of light treatment. The evidence for laser in tendinopathy is mixed, and results vary.
It is a non-invasive treatment, meaning it does not require any needles or injections.
At Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy we may use laser therapy for tendon problems in the arms (i.e elbow), legs (i.e knee, and tendons in the feet (i.e plantar fasciitis).
Exercise Therapy
Exercise is extremely important for tendinitis and tendinopathy treatment. Our physiotherapists will prescribe an exercise program that focuses on regaining strength, flexibility, range of motion, endurance, coordination (balance), and speed.
At Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we use a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and treatment modalities to address the tendons affected.
For example, in knee tendonitis or tendinopathy our physiotherapists may prescribe strengthening exercises for the quadriceps muscles with resistance bands around your knees, plyometric exercises (jumping), or balance training on a wobble board.
