Tendinitis Tendinosis and Tendinopathy

Tendinitis, tendinosis, and tendinopathy are related conditions that affect tendons, which are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones.

Tendinitis Tendinosis and Tendinopathy

While they share similarities, there are distinct differences between these conditions. Blueprint Podiatry can provide comprehensive care for individuals experiencing these tendon-related issues:

What are the common causes of tendinopathy in the feet and ankles?

Blueprint Podiatry can explain that tendinopathy in the feet and ankles is often caused by repetitive activities such as running, jumping, or excessive walking. Improper footwear, biomechanical issues, and sudden changes in activity levels can also contribute to these conditions.

How can I distinguish between tendinitis and tendinosis?

Blueprint Podiatry will clarify that tendinitis is associated with acute inflammation, leading to symptoms like redness and swelling around the affected tendon. Tendinosis, on the other hand, does not typically involve noticeable inflammation but may cause chronic pain and stiffness in the tendon area.

Can I continue physical activities with tendinopathy?

Blueprint Podiatry will provide personalised advice based on the severity and stage of the tendinopathy. In some cases, they may recommend modifying activities or temporarily avoiding certain exercises to allow the tendon to heal properly.
