  1. Exercises to Relieve Bicep Tendonitis | Tebby Clinic Inflammation of the biceps tendon or tendon tear frequently sidelines professional baseball players, football quarter backs, those playing tennis, swimmers, and golfers who all use repetitive overhead motion as part of their sport or profession. These sports injuries create pain in the bicep muscle and can develop into biceps tendonitis which can develop either in the shoulder and the elbow, depending upon the nature of the repetitive motion. This typically is most evident as shoulder pain and can lead to a biceps tear. But, what exactly is bicep tendonitis? More importantly, how do we help to relieve the pain and swelling in the bicep tendon, causing bicep tendonitis?

  2. Biceps Tendinitis, What is it? Biceps tendonitis is an acute inflammation of the tendons in the upper arm where the tendon attaches the biceps. The heads of the biceps attach to two points in the upper arm to the coracoid process of the scapula and the glenoidfossa of the shoulder blade (where the humeral head attaches);  these comprise the bones of the shoulder. Where these tendons attach is the area of most wear and tear with respect to repetitive shoulder motions and most susceptible to a biceps tendon injury. In the distal portion of the upper arm (the area furthest from the shoulder) the attachment is to the radius bone of the forearm.

  3. Treatment for Biceps Tendonitis There are a multitude of treatments for bicep tendonitis. The best injury prevention plan to prevent biceps tendonitis is rest and avoid activities which initially caused the inflammation. If you are no better after rest, icing the area and doing the exercise program above (shoulder exercises), it is time to make an appointment with Tebby Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Clinic to investigate nonsurgical treatments options and pain management protocols, physical therapy, prior to corticosteroid injections for the treatment of biceps tendinitis.
