Bicipital Tendinitis treatment in Cuauhtémoc

When pain appears in the front of the shoulder that increases when raising the arm or carrying objects, bicipital tendinitis may be involved. It is inflammation of the tendon of the long head of the biceps as it passes through the shoulder, a common cause of discomfort in this area.

Common symptoms: pain in the front of the shoulder, tenderness to the touch, discomfort when raising the arm, and sometimes weakness or clicking.

Common causes: repetitive overhead movements, sports or work overload, and age-related wear.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist and the rheumatologist evaluate the shoulder and guide management, while the hand surgeon operates in selected cases. If the pain limits your daily activities, it is worth getting it checked by a professional before it intensifies.
