Calcium tendonitis

Football tendonitis. In a few days most players will begin their oxygenation program (to download here). Maybe your body opposes and the pain is felt. In particular with the Achille tendon and the knee. Today this article is interested in the tendonitis of the Achille tendon and the lata band.

Calcium tendonitis

Achille tent of the tendon

Achille’s tendon is a powerful fibrous structure, which plays the role of a true lever, whose traction force that is distributed on the entire surface of the foot. It is largely wrapped around the heel allowing the transmission of the contraction forces of the quadriceps (thigh) e triceps (veal) to the foot. The fibers that make it up are very sensitive to dehydrationMain cause of tendonitis. Being little vascularized, they are therefore particularly fragile.

Achilean tendonitis tendonitis is therefore often caused by dehydration. The pain is in the foot or heel.

The symptoms of tendinitis are changing according to 4 phases. We distinguish the pain:

– Tent that occurs after sporting activities and disappears easily at rest;

– which occurs at the beginning of training to reappear with fatigue;

– permanent on the sporting effort that requires the latter’s stop. These pain can intensify to become permanent during daily life.

Finally the worst pain:

– Running of the tendon.

Causes of Achille tendonitis

– particularly short, narrow and steep tenders

– a lack of flexibility

– dehydration during and after effort

– A morphological disorder of the plantar vault (cables or flat feet)

– a chronic tendon pathology (rheumatic disease)

-A dental or oto-rino-laryngology (EN)

– Age: with age the elasticity of the tendon decreases more quickly than muscle elasticity.

How to avoid Achille’s tendonitis?

The first thing is obviously to have the race on your passage (pronator, universal, suprier) and your weight (cushioning). Their condition must also be monitored, running with the races that no longer offer adequat loves exposes you even more (and I’m not talking about football boots …). Of course, think about drinking before, during and after effort. In the case of the first signs of warning you must know how to stop and re -evaluate the possibility of collecting the increase in the frequency of training.

To treat Achille’s tendonitis:

First, you must observe a sporting rest period and apply ice on the painful tendon. (See Greek protocol) So sessions with a masseur-fisyotherapist can be prescribed The muscle-tensins extends And deep transverse massages. We can also add the administration of anti -inflammatory drugs for general or local route (gel or patch). In case of great tendonitis it is possible to use the immobilization of the plaster foot. In the absence of improvements despite this well -guided medical treatment for more than 6 months, the use of surgery gives good results.

The trend of the lay

The tensor muscle of the lata band is an elongated muscle, which begins at the external limit of the buttock region, extends in the form of a fibrous strip, the real tendon. Participate in the flexion of the hip. This flat tendon will be attached to the external part of the knee. Sveg (like a wipers) the underlying area quite naturally: the external condilo, the lower and external part of the femur.

The tendonitis of the lata band is caused by the friction of the Ilio-Tibial strip On the external part of the knee and this with any extension of the knee flexion. This type of tendonitis is also called the wiper syndrome or ilio-stibial strip syndrome. This syndrome is Lthat is, the repetition of the flexion extension movements During a prolonged running effort.

Some conditions promote this type of tendonitis:

1. the race on the coast, or downhill,
2. the use of used shoes
3. the brutal increase in mileage weekly.
4. Knee instability when blocking the leg (in case of “arched legs”)

Peculiarity of pain

The pain is Located on the external face (side) of the knee During the flexion during the race. (requiring the interruption of the race) its intensity is variable and has some peculiarities. At rest, during the walk, during sports activities that require irregular competitions, such as football, there is no pain. It appears only in the right race. (Vma test, sprint, exercise of aerobic energy, ballless ball)

Sometimes the player has the feeling that The knee is hidden When he pose the foot. As soon as this activity is stopped, the pain decreases to see completely fades. However, sometimes it can persist outside the effort.

Consultation and treatment

Only the integration flexion movements, about 30 ° can wake up pain. X -rays are generally normal. The ultrasound can highlight inflammation such as the Borsite between the Ilio-Tibial Strip and the external condition.

The treatment combines different sizes

The clinical examination can lead to the prescription of Planari Ortesi (soles) that will eliminate static disorders and favorable factors. The choice of a kneerer that allows the block of the knee (knee + crossed ligaments + flexion aid) can completely eliminate pain.

The control of the sports shoe is also essential. The type of training field must also be analyzed. The treatment of physiotherapy combines local physiotherapy, cryotherapy, stretching.

The medical treatment can be local, by applying anti -inflammatory drugs, or these can be prescribed by the general street. In rebellious cases, one or two infiltrations made at the level of the inflammation area are needed. Surgery is rarely used, it is reserved for prolonged failures for medical treatment.

If one of these two problems: slow down! And above all listen to your body, so treat it. In preparation before the season, take care to: drink before and after the effort; Take time to stretch and do it correctly.
