Calcific tendonitis, a condition marked by the formation of calcium deposits in tendons, is not only painful but also notoriously difficult to heal. For those grappling with its symptoms, understanding why this condition is so challenging to overcome is crucial. In this article, we delve into the complexities of calcific tendonitis, explore possible reasons for its stubborn nature, and highlight how CARESPACE Health+Wellness offers a multidisciplinary approach to aid in its treatment.
What is Calcific Tendonitis?
Calcific tendonitis occurs when calcium deposits build up in a tendon, typically in the shoulder, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This condition can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life, making effective treatment essential.
The Challenge of Healing
Several factors contribute to the difficulty in healing calcific tendonitis:
1. Complexity of the Condition: Calcific tendonitis involves a complex interplay of biological processes, including inflammation, tissue degeneration, and calcium deposition. This complexity makes it challenging to target and resolve the underlying issues effectively.
2. Calcium Deposits: The presence of calcium deposits within the tendon poses a unique challenge. These deposits can vary in size, location, and composition, complicating treatment strategies. Removing these deposits is often difficult and may require specialized interventions.
3. Chronic Inflammation: Inflammation is a hallmark of calcific tendonitis and can persist despite conventional treatments. Chronic inflammation not only exacerbates pain but also impedes the healing process, creating a cycle of discomfort and limited recovery.
4. Poor Blood Supply: Tendons have relatively poor blood supply compared to other tissues, which can impede the delivery of essential nutrients and immune cells necessary for healing. This reduced blood flow prolongs the recovery process and may contribute to treatment resistance.

The Role of Physiotherapists and Chiropractic Doctors
Physiotherapists and chiropractic doctors play integral roles in the management of calcific tendonitis:
Physiotherapy: Our Waterloo Physiotherapists employ various techniques, such as manual treatment, exercise prescription, and modalities like ultrasound and shockwave treatment, to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. Through targeted interventions, physiotherapy aims to address underlying biomechanical imbalances and restore optimal function.
Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic doctors focus on the musculoskeletal system and utilize spinal adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and rehabilitative exercises to enhance joint function and alleviate pain. By addressing spinal alignment and peripheral joint mechanics, chiropractic care can complement physiotherapy in managing calcific tendonitis.
