What is Shoulder Tendonitis?
Shoulder tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the tendons in the shoulder. Tendons are durable and elastic tissues that connect muscles to bones. We at MSM Clinic are here to properly understand and treat shoulder tendinitis.
Tendonitis usually occurs due to overuse, repetitive movements or the aging process. This condition occurs as a result of increased stress on the tendons in the shoulder and damage to the tendon fibers. Shoulder tendinitis is more common in people who require constantly repetitive shoulder movements, such as athletes or certain professional groups.
Shoulder tendinitis usually presents with symptoms such as pain, tenderness and limitation of movement. Pain may be felt on or near the shoulder and often increases during activity.
Shoulder tendinitis, if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems and negatively affect the function of the shoulder. Therefore, it is important for anyone experiencing shoulder pain or limited mobility to be evaluated by a specialized healthcare facility.
As MSM Clinic, we provide support for a healthy and active life by providing accurate diagnosis and effective treatment options to our patients in cases of shoulder tendinitis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of shoulder tendinitis helps our patients improve their shoulder health and return to their daily lives.

How to Treat Shoulder Tendonitis?
Shoulder tendinitis is usually treated with conservative treatment methods. The treatment plan is personalized based on the severity of tendinitis, symptoms, and the patient’s overall health. At MSM Clinic, we use the following methods to effectively treat shoulder tendinitis:
- Rest and Activity Restriction: Patients with shoulder tendonitis are advised to rest their shoulders and avoid activities that cause pain. This can speed up the healing process of the shoulder.
- Medications: Medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, analgesics may be used to keep the pain under control.
- Physical Therapy and Exercises: Physical therapy programs are important for strengthening the shoulder, increasing its flexibility and restoring range of motion. Special exercises performed under the guidance of a physiotherapist can improve the function of the shoulder and prevent recurrent tendinitis attacks.
- Cold and Hot Application: Cold compresses or hot applications can be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. These methods often help relieve symptoms.
- Steroid Injections: In cases of severe pain, doctors may recommend local treatments such as steroid injections. These injections can relieve pain and speed healing by reducing inflammation.
- Surgical Intervention: Rarely, when conservative treatment methods fail or in the case of a serious condition such as tendon rupture, surgical intervention may be required. Surgical options may include repairing tendinitis or repairing damaged tissues.
As MSM Clinic, we aim to achieve the most effective results by offering an individual and comprehensive approach to our patients in the treatment of shoulder tendinitis. By creating a special treatment plan for each patient, we help them regain their shoulder health.
