Tendinopathies Pain Relief from Experts - Physical Therapy
Christian Mercill DPT
Physical Therapist
Living with tendon pain isn’t just uncomfortable; it limits everything, from your daily routine to your active lifestyle. Here at Active Physical Therapy, we understand how frustrating tendinopathies can be, whether you’re an athlete missing your morning runs or someone who just wants to play with your grandkids without discomfort. Our caring team specializes in treating tendinopathies (conditions affecting your tendons), and we’re here to help you get back to living your best life.
Understanding Tendinopathies
Think of tendons as the strong cables that connect your muscles to your bones. When these cables become stressed or damaged, you might experience what we call tendinopathies. This includes:
- Tendinitis: When your tendon becomes inflamed, often feeling hot and painful to the touch.
- Tendinosis: A longer-term condition where the tendon tissue itself has started to break down.
- Tendinopathy: A general term we use that covers both conditions.
You might notice these problems in your shoulder when reaching overhead, in your elbow during your tennis game, or in your Achilles tendon while walking or running.

Introducing Shockwave Therapy
We’re excited to add shockwave therapy to our advanced treatment options at Active Physical Therapy Redding. This non-invasive therapy uses acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce pain. It’s particularly effective for treating chronic tendinopathies, helping patients experience faster and more complete recovery. Benefits of shockwave therapy include:
Stimulating blood flow to enhance tendon healing.
Reducing pain and inflammation naturally without medication.
Encouraging tissue regeneration for long-term relief.
Improving mobility and function in affected areas.
This cutting-edge therapy has helped countless patients regain their strength and return to their favorite activities.
