Tenosynovitis treatment in Tijuana

The inflammation of the sheath that covers a tendon is known as tenosynovitis, a condition that hampers the normal gliding of the tendon within its protective sheath.

Which specialist treats it? It is usually handled by the orthopedist and the rheumatologist, with support from the physical therapist for functional recovery; a general practitioner can guide the first assessment.

Frequent symptoms: localized pain, swelling, difficulty moving the affected joint and, at times, a sensation of rubbing or clicking when the tendon moves.

Common causes: it is often associated with repetitive movements, overuse, injuries, or certain inflammatory diseases. If the discomfort persists or limits your daily activities, the most sensible thing is to go in for a checkup so that a professional can examine the area.
