Ways to Help Heal Tendonitis (Tendinitis)

Ultrasound

Ultrasound technology can be an effective way to increase blood circulation in inflamed joints caused by tendonitis. This device works by sending sound waves and producing heat to the affected areas, which would speed up healing, loosen tightness, and alleviate pain. In most cases, you might feel instant relief after around 5 minutes. This method is often used in sports to deal with a wide variety of tendon and muscle problems, including tendonitis. However, your doctor will only use it when he or she can be sure that your health condition is suitable. [3]
