Calcific tendinitis - what does this mean
Calcific tendinitis is a condition that occurs when calcium deposits form in the tendons, leading to inflammation, pain, and decreased range of motion in the affected area. it is usually caused by a combination of wear and tear, overuse, and aging.
What happens during the disease - calcific tendinitis
Calcific tendinitis is a condition in which calcium deposits form within a tendon, leading to inflammation, pain, and impaired function. it is thought to occur when a tendon is exposed to repetitive strain, leading to micro-tearing of the tendon fibers. this micro-tearing causes an inflammatory response, leading to the release of calcium-binding proteins from the tendon cells, which in turn lead to the deposition of calcium crystals within the tendon. this causes further inflammation and pain, leading to impaired tendon function.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Reduce inflammation and pain associated with calcific tendinitis.
- Resting the affected area
- Applying ice packs to reduce inflammation and pain
- Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation
- Using physical therapy exercises to improve range of motion and strength
- Using ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation and pain
- Using corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain
- Surgery to remove the calcium deposits

38 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Calcific tendinitis - Prevention
Calcific tendinitis can be prevented by avoiding repetitive use of the affected joint, maintaining a healthy weight, and participating in regular stretching and strengthening exercises. additionally, it is important to use proper body mechanics when performing activities and to avoid activities that involve forceful, repetitive motions.
