💡 Understanding Tendonitis

Dr. Kostman specializes in tendonitis of the knee, ankle, and foot, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and comfort.

Tendons are tough, flexible bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones — and they play a vital role in movement.

Tendonitis occurs when these tendons become inflamed, irritated, or develop microscopic tears. While it can be difficult to pinpoint an exact cause, it’s often linked to overuse or overload of the affected area.

Tendonitis most commonly occurs in the elbow, knee, wrist, and heel.

Dr. Kostman tailors treatments to his patient's needs for both work and non-work injuries. To schedule an appointment, call 314-597-8887.
