How long does it take for tendons to heal? ⏳
A new study found that elbow, knee, and ankle tendon injuries usually last 3-4 months, and shoulder injuries typically take up to a year to fully recover without treatment.
This highlights the need for treatment that includes strengthening and improving movement patterns, regardless of the injury location.
If you are experiencing tendon pain, make an appointment so we can help you! 🙌

Can you name all four rotator cuff muscles? 👀
The supraspinatus, the rotator cuff muscle located at the top of the shoulder, is this group's most commonly injured muscle.
Multiple changes can occur in the supraspinatus tendon, like acute inflammation leading to thickening or long-term overloading causing thinning.
But the good news is that exercise helps with both of these tendon issues! 🙌
Oh, and the other three rotator cuff muscles are the infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Were you able to name all four?

What exactly is carpal tunnel syndrome? ✋
Carpal tunnel syndrome is when the median nerve becomes irritated near the wrist. This leads to numbness and tingling in the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers.
When treating numbness or tingling in the hand, it is important to evaluate the entire upper extremity and then treat problem areas to relieve nerve irritation.
If you have numbness or tingling in the hand, let us take a look! Check out this infographic for more info! 👍

Carpal tunnel syndrome is usually caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This condition causes numbness and tingling in the thumb, pointer, and middle fingers. ✋
While a corticosteroid injection might have been recommended in the past, one recent study found that steroid injections didn’t provide additional relief when compared to wearing a wrist splint.
Our clinic uses a combination of hands-on therapies, exercises, and splints (when needed) to help those experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome. 🙌
