You Don’t Have to Limit Your Life because of the Pain Caused by
Tendonitis
Pain Management Specialists of New York
Are You in Pain?
Do you often experience a dull, aching pain that flares up when you move. Does the pain seem to affect a specific area, such as a joint or muscle? Is there tenderness when you touch the affected area or stiffness in your joints, particularly when you get up in the morning? You may be suffering from tendonitis, where your tendons, which connect bone to muscle, become inflamed or irritated from repetitive use, strain or stress.
There’s good news, though…
You don’t have to let the pain associated with tendonitis keep you from doing the things you love…we can help.
At Pain Management Specialists of New York, we devote our entire practice to the needs of people experiencing traumatic or chronic pain, including pain related to tendonitis. Our lead pain management specialist, Dr. Ari Lerner, brings decades of experience to individuals across the New York City metropolitan area who are experiencing any type of pain, including tendonitis. He is board-certified in both pain management and anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

Why Do People Typically Suffer from Tendonitis?
Your tendons may become inflamed or irritated in many ways:
Traumatic injury
Traumatic injury, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents or slips and falls can cause tendonitis.
Repetitive stress or motion
Repetitive stress or motion can cause tendonitis in the elbow, knee or ankle.
Sports
Sports-related impact or wear and tear can lead to tendonitis, and examples are tennis elbow and golf elbow
Overexertion
Overexertion, including lifting, running, walking, standing or squatting can inflame tendons.
Aging
Tendons become less flexible over time and more prone to strain, sprain or tearing.
Posture and Weight
Poor posture or excessive weight can irritate and inflame tendons.
What Types of Tendonitis Do We Treat
You can experience tendonitis anywhere in your body where muscles are connected to bone. The most common types of tendonitis that we treat at Pain Management Specialists of New York include:
Tennis elbow
Golfer’s elbow
With golfer’s elbow, the pain focuses on the inner side of your elbow, particularly when you attempt to bend your wrist.
Patellar Tendonitis
Patellar tendonitis is knee pain caused by overuse or strain on the tendon that connects your kneecap to your shinbone, often triggered by activities like running, jumping, or squatting..
Shoulder Tendonitis
Ankle Tendonitis
Tendonitis on either side of your ankles is often felt when you push off or stand on your toes.
Wrist or Thumb Tendonitits
Tendonitis in your thumbs or wrists is often a consequence of repetitive use of your hands.
What Can
Pain Management Specialists of New York
Do to Alleviate Your Pain?
When treating patients with tendonitis, we begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history and a thorough physical examination to accurately identify the source of your pain. While we don’t consider medication a long-term solution for chronic pain, we may prescribe anti-inflammatories or pain relievers for short-term relief. Conservative treatment often includes physical therapy along with directed home exercises and stretching to improve strength, flexibility, and tendon recovery.
