When a joint is forced or a tendon is overloaded, pain, inflammation, and limited movement can appear: this is the usual scenario of tendinitis and joint sprains. Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon, while a sprain affects the ligaments that stabilize a joint.
Common causes: repetitive movements, sports overexertion, twists, or poor postures sustained over time.
Frequent symptoms:
- Pain that increases with movement
- Swelling and tenderness in the area
- A feeling of instability or stiffness
Who handles these cases? Recovery from tendinitis and joint sprains is usually accompanied by the physical therapist and, in athletes, the sports medicine physician. Assessing the injury with one of them allows recovery to be guided safely.
