📋Overview
Tendinopathy is a modern term describing a spectrum of tendon disorders characterized by pain, swelling, and impaired function, typically due to chronic overuse or degeneration. It replaces older terms like 'tendinitis' (implying inflammation) and 'tendinosis' (implying degeneration without inflammation). Tendinopathy encompasses both inflammatory and degenerative changes in tendons.
