Understanding Tendonitis and Shockwave Therapy

What is Tendonitis?

Tendonitis is when your tendon—the tough tissue connecting muscle and bone—starts acting up due to being overworked or repetitive movements. Think of areas like your shoulder, elbow, knee, and the notorious Achilles tendon as hotspots for this kind of trouble. You might feel pain, notice swelling, and find it hard to move around like you usually do.
