As the name of the condition itself suggests, it affects the tendons. Specifically, in tendinitis, the tendons become inflamed. That may sound simple, but the results are extraordinarily painful; they can even be quite debilitating.

Fortunately, there are a number of treatments — natural ones at that — which can be used to ease the pain caused by tendinitis. For one thing, the condition itself can be related to either overusing your tendons, or using them improperly. If, for instance, the injury is sustained because you have been jogging too much, taking a break can be helpful.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has also been shown to help the condition. Acupuncture in particular is said to be extremely helpful.
