📋Overview
This condition often results from repetitive motion or overuse of a specific joint or muscle group. It typically involves the tendons, which serve as the structural links between muscles and the skeletal system.
While the term is frequently used to describe acute inflammatory responses, clinical terminology may distinguish it from tendinopathy, which encompasses broader tendon disorders including chronic degeneration. Modern medical observations often categorize acute cases as tendinitis while referring to long-term issues as tendinopathy.
