BICEP TENDINOSIS
BICEPS TENDINOSIS
“Bicep” is the Latin word for Two Headed. As you might imagine, this is because there are two muscles which make up the Biceps Muscle (the long head and the short head). Even if you don’t know where the bicep muscles is, you know where the bicep muscle is. It is the arm muscle that little boys will show you when you ask them to, “make a muscle“. The bicep is a “pulling” muscle (as opposed to a pushing muscle like its antagonist, the Triceps), and as you will learn from the pictures below, TENDINOPATHIES in this muscle are commonly misdiagnosed as a ROTATOR CUFF PROBLEMS or SUBACROMIAL BURSITIS. In the following pictures, I want you to notice the proximity of the upper attachment of the bicep muscle to both the Subacromial Bursa (the reason it is frequently confused with bursitis) and the Rotator Cuff (the reason it is frequently diagnosed as a Rotator Cuff problem). Although I see Biceps Tendiopathy at the elbow attachment, it is far more commonly seen at it's upper attachment.
If you are wondering why the name Biceps Tendinosis instead of Biceps Tendinitis, you simply need to spend a few minutes on our TENDINOSIS -vs- TENDINITIS page.

TWO HEADS OF THE BICEPS TENDON
The only difference between these two drawings from Gray's Anatomy is that the superficial chest muscles (pectorals) and shoulder muscles (deltoids) have been removed from the picture above. By the way, the Long Head is more problematic than the Short Head.

The bottom line, TENDINOPATHY is serious stuff! It can cause dysfunction, atrophy, DEGENERATIVE ARTHRTIS, and in some cases, a complete rupture of the biceps tendon. Make sure and check out our TESTIMONIAL PAGE to see patients who have been helped with Biceps Tendinopathy just like yours.
Be sure to visit our STRETCHING PAGE as well. This is not a page to show people what I like to refer to as 'Wellness Stretches". Although I think regular stretching is a good thing, that is not what this site is all about. Our various Stretching Pages are dedicated to demonstrating stretches specifically for people suffering with various CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROMES --- particularly those who have been through our TISSUE REMODELING TREATMENT.
