Physical Therapy in Linwood for Shoulder
Welcome to Body In Balance Physical Therapy and Fitness Center's resource on biceps tendonitis.
Biceps tendonitis, also called bicipital tendonitis, is inflammation of the tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder or forearm. The tendon most commonly irritated is the one that attaches the top of the biceps muscle to the shoulder, so it is this injury that we will discuss here.
The most common cause of biceps tendonitis is overuse from certain types of work or sports activities. Biceps tendonitis may develop gradually from the effects of wear and tear, or it can happen suddenly from a direct injury. The tendon may also become inflamed in response to other problems that affect how you use the shoulder, such as rotator cuff tears, impingement in the shoulder, or shoulder instability (described below).
This guide will help you understand:
- what parts of the shoulder are affected
- the causes of biceps tendonitis
- ways to treat this problem
- what Body In Balance Physical Therapy and Fitness Center’s approach to rehabilitation is
