Stop letting chronic tendon pain limit your activities. At Kent Chiro-Med Wellness Clinic, our specialized team provides advanced tendinosis treatment in Ottawa that promotes true tendon healing and long-term recovery – not just temporary pain relief.
Tendons attach muscles to bones, and tendinosis is a chronic degeneration process—one type of tendinopathy—distinct from tendinitis (acute inflammation). In short, tendinitis is inflammation, while tendinosis reflects tissue change in a damaged tendon. Clinically, tendinitis or tendinosis can feel similar, and both tendinosis and tendinitis (tendinosis and tendonitis) are types of different types of tendinopathy seen in Ottawa.
Tendinosis is caused by repetitive load and micro-trauma around the tendon that your body doesn’t fully repair. This condition develops gradually over months or years due to repetitive stress, overuse, or inadequate healing from previous tendon injuries. Common locations include the Achilles tendon, tennis elbow (lateral epicondyle), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondyle), and rotator cuff tendons.
Typical tendinosis symptoms—that is, the symptoms of tendinosis—include pain and stiffness that start gradually and may worsen with activity.
The cause of tendinosis varies, but potential causes involve repetitive overload, sudden training spikes, and biomechanics. Microscopic tears in tendons can cause tendinosis, and tendinosis causes stiffness and load sensitivity that may persist without treatment. Put simply, tendinosis is caused by load exceeding capacity over time.
Primary Tendinosis Risk Factors:
Our treatment options combine effective treatments and evidence-informed treatment methods with clear treatment protocols for management and treatment of chronic tendinopathy—ensuring proper treatment progression from pain to performance in Ottawa.
Exclusive access to this advanced FDA-approved technology means superior tendon healing and better long-term outcomes for chronic conditions.
Unlike other Ottawa clinics with crowded treatment areas, you receive full 30-minute dedicated sessions in private rooms with qualified practitioners.
Our treatment decisions are made by licensed healthcare professionals, not business managers. Your tendon recovery comes first.
Tendinosis is a chronic condition requiring patience. Most patients see significant improvement within 3-6 months with our comprehensive approach. Early intervention leads to better outcomes.
Your time to heal varies; with a structured plan and consistency, most see steady gains month over month in Ottawa.
Tendinitis is acute tendon inflammation, while tendinosis is chronic tendon degeneration. Tendinosis requires different treatment focusing on tendon regeneration rather than reducing inflammation.
Remember: tendinitis is inflammation, whereas tendinosis reflects remodeling in a damaged tendon that needs progressive loading.
No referral required. Ottawa residents can book directly with Kent Chiro-Med for both physiotherapy and chiropractic tendinosis treatment.
Chronic tendinosis requires active treatment and progressive loading to stimulate healing. Rest alone often doesn’t address the underlying tendon degeneration.
Yes, with proper treatment tendinosis can heal completely. However, it requires consistent treatment and progressive loading over several months for optimal results.
Your practitioner will provide specific activity modifications based on your condition. Generally, activities that aggravate symptoms should be modified, not completely avoided.
Don’t let chronic tendon pain limit you any longer—treatment for tendinosis works best when started early. Our Ottawa team guides management and treatment from early pain relief to full activity.
