Biceps Tendon Pain Treatment in Singapore – FAQs

What causes biceps tendon pain?

Biceps tendon pain is often caused by tendon inflammation (tendinitis), tendon tears, or irritation due to repetitive use, injury, or overuse in activities such as lifting, throwing, or repetitive arm movements.

What are common symptoms?

• Pain and tenderness in the front of the shoulder or upper arm

• Weakness in arm or shoulder

• Swelling or bruising (in cases of tears)

• Difficulty lifting or rotating the arm

What are typical treatments?

Standard treatments include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, corticosteroid injections, and surgery in severe cases.

What challenges do patients face with conventional treatments?

• Long recovery times

• Persistent pain despite treatment

• Side effects from medications or injections

• Invasive surgery with downtime

How does The Pain Relief Practice treat biceps tendon pain differently?

We offer non-invasive therapies aimed at reducing inflammation, promoting tendon healing, and restoring function:

• Shockwave therapy (from $180/session): Helps stimulate healing and reduce pain.

• Pioneered HotHeal Therapy Protocol: Combines manual therapy with non-invasive radiofrequency to promote tissue repair.

• Pioneered Home Therapy Protocol: Unique to our clinic, using FDA-approved PEMF, Regenerix Gold, and Korean transdermal technology for ongoing home support.

Is this treatment suitable for all severities?

Yes. Mild to moderate tendinitis responds well; severe tears may require surgical evaluation.

How soon can patients expect relief?

Many patients notice reduced pain within a few sessions, with gradual improvement in strength and mobility.

When is surgery recommended?

Surgery is typically considered if conservative treatments fail or for complete tendon ruptures.
