Shoulder Tendonitis
Shoulder tendonitis is the name given to the condition where the tendons of the shoulder muscles become inflamed. The suffix "itis" means inflammation - think of tonsillitis, dermatitis, appendicitis and the likes. A tendon is the gristle that joins muscle flesh onto bone so "tendonitis" is inflammation in a tendon.
Shoulder tendonitis can be treated by physical therapy, by acupuncture, by exercises or stretches or sometimes by injection of a steroid.
Rarely tendonitis at the shoulder can progress or deteriorate into a rotator cuff tear.
