Bicipital and Tricipital Tendinitis

The tendons of the biceps and triceps are very sensitive structures and are often prone to injury.

Biceps tendinitis tends to display pain at the front aspect of the shoulder and is a result of inflammation or minor tearing of the tendon. Pain is excessive at the point of the tendon and is more diffuse along the outside and frontal aspect of the arm.

Triceps tendinitis tends to dislay pain at the tip of the elbow where the triceps tendon inserts and is also a result of inflammation or minor tearing of the tendon.

With both of these ailments, pain often comes on with athletic events and/or repetitive stress. Both of the conditions are controlled well with a combination of non-surgical and non-invasive muscle release therapies, bracing, and rest. If treated early, it is easy to avoid complications and re-injury.
