Tendon Calcification (Tendinosis Calcarea): Drug Therapy

Therapeutic targets

  • Reduction of pain
  • Increase in the ability to move

Therapy recommendations

Further notes

  • The acute onset of pain with nocturnal maximum – as typically occurs in the pre- and post-calcification stages – often responds poorly to analgesics. Notice:
    • Disturbed sleep may also be the cause of increased pain sensitivity!
    • Chronic pain is associated with a significantly increased prevalence (frequency of illness) of insomnia (sleep disturbances) or impaired sleep quality.

    Conclusion: disturbed sleep should be treated.

Supplements (dietary supplements; vital substances)

In the presence of insomnia (sleep disorders) as a result of the symptoms, see below Insomnia/Medicinal Therapy/Supplements.
