Bicipital Tendonitis

Understanding Bicipital Tendonitis and the AMIT Solution

Bicipital tendonitis refers to the inflammation of one of the tendons connecting the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint. This condition is often painful and limits arm mobility, affecting everyday activities.

Causes of Bicipital Tendonitis

Common causes include:

• Overuse: Repetitive motions, especially overhead activities like throwing or lifting, can strain the biceps tendon.
• Inflammatory Conditions: Arthritis or other systemic conditions can lead to inflammation of the biceps tendon.
• Injury: Direct trauma or infection can cause bicipital tendonitis.

Symptoms of Bicipital Tendonitis

Signs and symptoms may include:

• Pain in the Shoulder: A deep ache along the front of the shoulder extending down the arm.
• Tenderness: Sensitivity to touch where the biceps meet the shoulder.
• Decreased Mobility: Difficulty lifting the arm or performing overhead activities.

AMIT Explanation for Bicipital Tendonitis

Bicipital tendonitis occurs when the tendon of the long head of the biceps, which runs through a groove at the top of the shoulder, becomes inflamed. While the inflammation of this tendon causes discomfort, the root problem often involves inhibition of surrounding muscles.

What Causes This Condition?

The pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, teres minor, subscapularis, and supraspinatus muscles may all contribute to this condition if they become inhibited or inflamed. In some cases, the pain may also stem from issues in the cervical spine, causing referred pain.

How Does AMIT Help?

The Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) addresses both the inflammation of the biceps tendon and the inhibition of surrounding muscles. By reactivating these muscles and correcting the functional imbalances, AMIT can provide relief and restore full mobility without the need for surgery.

Steps to Take If You Have Shoulder Pain

1. Rest and Ice: Allow the tendon to rest and apply ice to reduce inflammation.
2. Consult a Certified AMIT Physician: Contact our clinic today for an evaluation and non-invasive treatment.
3. Rehabilitation: After AMIT treatment, our team will guide you through exercises to strengthen the shoulder and prevent recurrence.
