Benefits of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care for Treating Triceps Tendinitis
At ASR Sports Medicine in Miami, we specialize in treating triceps tendinitis, a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the back of the upper arm. Our expert team provides comprehensive care through physical therapy and chiropractic care to promote healing, restore function, and prevent recurrence.
What is Triceps Tendinitis?
Triceps tendinitis is the inflammation of the triceps tendon, which connects the triceps muscle to the elbow. This condition often results from overuse or repetitive strain, particularly in activities that involve extending the arm, such as weightlifting, throwing sports, or certain manual labor tasks.
Common Causes of Triceps Tendinitis:
Repetitive overhead motions or arm extension.
Sudden increase in physical activity or intensity.
Poor technique during exercise or sports.
Trauma or injury to the elbow.
Muscle imbalances in the arm or shoulder.
Symptoms of Triceps Tendinitis:
Pain at the back of the elbow, especially during arm extension.
Swelling or tenderness around the triceps tendon.
Stiffness or limited range of motion in the elbow.
Weakness in the arm when pushing or lifting.
A "clicking" sensation in the elbow during movement.
Left untreated, triceps tendinitis can lead to chronic pain and reduced arm function.
