title: Overuse injuries.
abstract: Tendinopathy and chronic tendon issues related to tendinosis are conditions difficult to treat. These conditions often lead to patients' quality of life declining because of the inability to participate in exercise, occupation-related activities, and activities of daily living. By better understanding the pathophysiology related to the development of tendinosis, clinicians will be better able to understand the treatment options available and their limitations while allowing novel therapies to be developed. Conservative treatment of tendinosis starting with a sound rehabilitation program seems to be the best place to start while reserving surgical approaches for cases that have failed conservative management.
