Exploring Alternative Treatments for Tendonitis Hey all, I’ve been struggling with shoulder tendonitis for a few years now, and while physical therapy and rest have helped somewhat, I’m looking for alternative treatments to manage the pain. I’ve heard about using acupuncture and cold laser therapy for tendonitis and am curious if anyone has tried these methods. I’m also interested in any other holistic approaches that have worked for people, like herbal supplements or specific diets. I’m open to trying new things if they can provide some relief.

Recovering from Achilles Tendonitis – My Experience Hello community, I’ve been recovering from Achilles tendonitis for about six months now, and it’s been a slow and frustrating process. I’m an avid runner, and not being able to run has been tough. My doctor recommended a combination of physical therapy, rest, and anti-inflammatory medications, which have helped, but I still experience some pain after walking long distances. One thing that has been particularly helpful is calf stretches. I do them several times a day, and they’ve made a big difference in reducing stiffness. I’ve also started using a foam roller to massage my calves, which helps with muscle tightness. For anyone dealing with Achilles tendonitis, my advice is to be patient and consistent with your rehab exercises. It’s tempting to rush back into activity, but taking it slow has been key to my recovery. Does anyone have any other tips for dealing with Achilles tendonitis or preventing future flare-ups?

Managing Elbow Tendonitis Pain Hi everyone, I’ve been dealing with tennis elbow for a few months, and it’s really affecting my ability to do daily tasks. I’ve tried resting my arm and using over-the-counter pain relievers, but the pain keeps coming back whenever I try to lift anything or use my arm for too long. Does anyone have any tips or exercises that helped them manage elbow tendonitis? I’m also curious about braces or straps—have they worked for anyone here? Thanks in advance for your advice!
