Treatment for Tendinitis

If you have a chronic tendinitis condition in another area it can most likely be resolved by receiving the PMBT treatments. The misaligned joint directly causing the tendinitis must be aligned properly and any other joint imbalances which could cause the problem to return must also be aligned. Then we must determine what caused the muscle damage which lead to the joint imbalance. If it is an activity that you are doing incorrectly then you must be educated in how to do it without over-stressing your muscles.

The fourth factor is weight. It should be easy to see that weight-bearing joints such as feet, ankles, knees, hips and spine are going to receive more stress in a 250 pound person than in a 125 pound person. Reducing and maintaining a more normal body weight will usually reduce the pain of many tendinitis conditions.

The fifth factor comes from the bodies power of adaptation. When a joint is imbalanced the body actually creates other joint imbalances to compensate and reduce stress to the original imbalanced joint. This can often result in pain relief in the original injured area and explains why a lot of therapies appear to have resolved a problem when they really haven't. Unfortunately, the compensating area will usually develop a problem of its own after a period of time because of the excessive stress it then receives.
