Differentiating Tendinitis and Tendinosis

While rotator cuff tendinitis involves active inflammation from acute strain, tendinosis reflects micro-tears and chronic wear over time. Both conditions impair function and cause persistent discomfort if left untreated. Book your assessment with our premier shoulder tendinosis specialists in Austin, TX to identify your exact condition and start healing today.

Common Symptoms and Diagnostic Steps

Symptoms of both chronic and acute tendon conditions frequently include:

Dull, deep shoulder aches

Constant throbbing deep inside the joint during activity.

Noticeable weakness when lifting

Reduced arm strength making basic tasks difficult.

Severe night joint stiffness

Sharp pain when lying down that disrupts sleep.
