Tendons. The tendon is the part of the muscle that attaches to the bone and transfers force from the muscle to the bone. Tendons help to steer our bodies. This is how we get the body to move because the muscles activate and pull on the bones. The crazy part is that this seemingly occurs instantaneously. We do not have to think about moving. We just go. When we stand up from sitting, we stand and start to walk. Crazy. To keep a tendon healthy, loading the structures is important.
Top Treatments:
- Spinal Manipulation - helps to reset the muscular system from the top down.
- Joint Mobilization - locked joints lead to movement dysfunction.
- Manual Therapy - soften the myofascial, muscular, and other soft tissue restrictions.
- Dry Needling - restart or reboot the healing cycle by adding targeted inflammation and natural opioid releases.
- Corrective Exercises - loading the body appropriately to tell the tendon how to function.
