“What sets Methodist Sports Medicine / The Orthopedic Specialists apart from other doctors is their attentiveness to each patients’ desires and needs. From the doctors, to everybody around the place, they care about each individual. Everybody there is great! When you walk away from there, you feel good inside about the care you’ve received and the people you’ve been around.” — Brandt Jobe, PGA Tour Member

TREATMENTS
Because of disruption of ligaments and interruption of blood supply, surgery is often required to repair these injuries.
Generally tendonitis treatment involves rest from the offending activity. Use of a splint immobilizes the injury at night, or if possible, part of the time during the day.
The use of anti-inflammatory medicines, injection therapy and ice treatment is commonly used for certain types of tendonitis.
Your treatment may also include an exercise program and sessions with one of our experienced occupational therapists.
