Calcific Tendinitis
Calcific tendinitis is a condition characterized by the accumulation of calcium deposits in the tendons, most commonly affecting the shoulder. This buildup can lead to inflammation, pain, and restricted movement, making everyday activities difficult. The exact cause of these deposits is not fully understood, but they often occur in individuals aged 30 to 60.
Treatment options for calcific tendinitis include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, ultrasound-guided procedures to remove the calcium deposits. If conservative measures fail, surgical intervention may be considered. Early diagnosis and management can help alleviate symptoms and improve function.
