Diagnosis and Imaging
Often Dr. Eby and staff can diagnose this condition with ultrasound and may utilize X-rays to rule out other conditions that may be responsible for your pain.
Treatments
Our first steps in returning you to your normal function would be strengthening the affected muscles with physical therapy, limiting activity, and taking anti-inflammatory medications. Ice, heat and bracing may be necessary to treat your symptoms.
If symptoms persist, a cortisone injection may target the inflammation and decrease your pain.
For those cases with chronic symptoms or severe tendon disorders, Dr. Eby and staff may offer surgical options for symptom relief and removal of the damaged tissue.
