Arthritis, Tendinitis, and Joint Pain

Tendinitis is a prevalent condition that leads to joint pain and inflammation. It occurs when the tendons, which are the fibrous tissues connecting muscles to bones, become irritated or inflamed. This condition often results from repetitive strain, overuse, or sudden injury. Commonly affected areas include the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees. Acupuncture care can be highly beneficial in managing tendinitis and associated joint pain. By enhancing joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and promoting the body’s natural healing processes, acupuncturists can help alleviate discomfort and improve overall joint function.

Arthritis is one of the most prevalent health conditions in the United States. Approximately 50 million adults in the country have been diagnosed by a doctor with some type of arthritis, which can include rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia. By the year 2030, it is expected that 67 million Americans aged 18 or older will have been medically diagnosed with arthritis. Many individuals have found relief through the specialized care we provide for arthritis. We have helped numerous patients manage their arthritis symptoms effectively.

The term arthritis translates to joint inflammation. It encompasses over 100 rheumatic diseases and conditions that impact the joints, surrounding tissues, and other connective tissues. Symptoms, severity, and affected areas may differ based on the specific condition. Arthritis often results in stiffness and discomfort in one or more joints. These symptoms may appear suddenly or develop gradually over time. Certain forms of arthritis can also affect the immune system and various internal organs.

Tendinitis refers to the swelling, irritation, and inflammation of a tendon, which connects muscle to bone. Cases often include tendinosis, which is the degeneration of a tendon. Tendinitis can develop in any tendon but is commonly found in areas like the elbow, heel (Achilles tendinitis), shoulder, and wrist. Typical symptoms include tenderness and aching along the affected tendon, nighttime discomfort, and worsening pain with movement or activity. Acupuncture aims to ease pain and reduce inflammation to aid recovery.

Joint pain encompasses non-arthritic discomfort within the joints and can affect one or multiple joints. Our skilled acupuncturists assess the severity of your joint pain and tailor a personalized treatment plan to suit your specific condition.
