Know the Difference
Tendonitis vs Tendinopathy
The terms are often used interchangeably but they refer to slightly different conditions. Here is the difference.
Tendonitis
- Acute inflammation of the tendon
- Often comes on quickly after overuse
- Typically shorter duration
- Responds well to rest and anti-inflammatory treatment
Tendinopathy
- Broader term for tendon degeneration or damage
- Often develops over time from repeated strain
- May involve breakdown of tendon tissue, not just inflammation
- May need rehabilitation and strengthening as well as other treatments

What is tendonitis?
Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon, usually caused by overuse or repetitive strain. It can affect the elbow (tennis or golfer's elbow), wrist, shoulder, Achilles tendon, or knee. We assess the cause and put together a treatment plan.
How long does tendonitis take to heal?
Recovery time depends on the tendon affected and how long you have had it. With the right treatment, many people see improvement within a few weeks. Chronic tendonitis may take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation.
Will I need surgery?
Most tendonitis responds well to non-surgical treatments such as injections, medication, and rehabilitation. We focus on these first and only discuss surgery if other options have not worked.
Is tendonitis treatment covered by insurance?
We accept all the major insurers. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm what is covered under your specific policy.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. The specialist will go through your medical history, carry out an examination, and discuss your symptoms with you. From there, we create a tailored treatment plan designed around what will work best for you.
