Book an appointment on Doctolib

Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon caused by overuse, repetitive movements, or poor biomechanics. Very common among athletes as well as sedentary workers, it primarily affects the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and Achilles tendon.

Chiropractic offers a natural, complementary approach to treating tendinitis by addressing the underlying biomechanical causes, not just the inflammatory symptoms.

Shoulder tendinitis is discussed in detail on our page shoulder painFor tendonitis related to sports practice, see our page. sports chiropractic.

The different types of tendinitis

Shoulder tendinitis

Rotator cuff tendinitis and subacromial impingement are the most common. They manifest as pain when raising the arm, often worse at night. Causes include repetitive overhead movements, poor posture at work, and muscle imbalances.

Tennis elbow (epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (epitrochleitis)

These elbow tendinitis conditions are common in athletes but also in people who use a computer mouse intensively. The chiropractor treats restricted mobility in the elbow, wrist and cervical spine that contributes to these conditions.

Knee tendinitis and Achilles tendonitis

Common in runners and athletes, these tendinitis conditions are often linked to biomechanical issues in the foot, ankle or pelvis. The chiropractor assesses and treats the whole kinetic chain to address the root cause.

The chiropractic approach to tendinitis

Correction of biomechanical causes

Tendinitis is often the symptom of a wider mechanical problem: restricted joint mobility, muscular imbalance, poor posture. The chiropractor identifies and corrects these underlying causes through joint adjustments and specific mobilisations.

Soft tissue techniques

Alongside joint adjustments, the chiropractor uses myofascial release techniques, deep transverse massage and specific stretches to address adhesions and support tendon healing.

Prevention and rehabilitation

Treatment includes a programme of eccentric strengthening exercises, stretches and postural correction to prevent recurrence. Ergonomic advice is also given to adapt your workstation or sporting practice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic in Paris

Is chiropractic effective against tendinitis?
Yes. By addressing the biomechanical causes of tendinitis (joint restrictions, muscular imbalances), chiropractic care speeds up healing and reduces the risk of recurrence. It complements other treatments (physiotherapy, anti-inflammatories).
How long does it take to recover from tendinitis?
The recovery time depends on the type of tendinitis, how long it has been present, and your activity level. Recent tendinitis may improve in 2 to 4 weeks. Chronic tendinopathy may require 2 to 3 months of treatment. The chiropractor will tailor the treatment plan to your individual situation.
Should I stop playing sports if I have tendinitis?
Not necessarily. The chiropractor will assess whether you can continue with suitable activity or if relative rest is necessary. Complete immobilization is generally not recommended. A gradual and supervised return to activity is the best path to recovery.
Does the chiropractor treat carpal tunnel syndrome?
The chiropractor can manage carpal tunnel symptoms by working on wrist, elbow and cervical spine mobility. If symptoms persist, an additional medical assessment may be needed.
Can tendinitis come back after treatment?
There is a risk of recurrence if the biomechanical causes are not corrected. That is why our approach includes a prevention programme with strengthening exercises and ergonomic advice to limit this risk.
Do I need imaging for tendinitis?
A chiropractor's clinical examination is enough in most cases to diagnose tendinitis. If needed, we refer you for an ultrasound or MRI to assess the state of the tendon, particularly in chronic tendinopathy or suspected rupture.
Is the treatment compatible with physiotherapy?
Absolutely. Chiropractic and physiotherapy are complementary in treating tendinitis. The chiropractor corrects joint and biomechanical causes, while the physiotherapist focuses on muscular and functional rehabilitation.
Can tendinitis be related to my work posture?
Yes, very often. Wrist tendinitis (computer mouse), shoulder tendinitis and elbow tendinitis are common in office workers. The chiropractor assesses your ergonomics and suggests adjustments to help prevent these conditions.
