A Bicep Tendonitis consultation focuses on evaluating inflammation of the biceps tendon at the shoulder (long head tendon) or near the elbow. This condition often results from repetitive motion, lifting, sports injury, overuse, or age-related tendon wear. Providers assess shoulder mobility, pain triggers, strength changes, swelling, and posture to determine the severity and best treatment options.
The goal is to reduce inflammation, restore range of motion, and prevent further tendon damage.
What We Review During Your Consultation:
- Pain in the front of the shoulder or upper arm
- Pain when lifting, reaching overhead, or rotating the arm
- Tenderness at the biceps tendon groove
- Weakness, stiffness, or reduced range of motion
- Swelling or inflammation near tendon attachment
- History of repetitive strain, lifting, or sports injuries
- Assessment for possible tendon degeneration or tear

Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care
What causes Bicep Tendonitis?
Common causes include repetitive overhead activity, heavy lifting, sports injuries, tendon aging, improper form during exercise, poor posture, and shoulder instability. Evaluation helps determine the exact trigger.
How is Bicep Tendonitis diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on physical exam findings including tendon tenderness, range-of-motion testing, strength assessment, and reviewing activity history. Imaging may be recommended if tears are suspected.
What treatments are available?
Treatment may include rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification, stretching and strengthening exercises, physical therapy guidance, and in some cases, steroid injections or specialist referral.
Can Bicep Tendonitis heal on its own?
Mild cases often improve with rest and conservative treatment. Persistent or severe cases require medical evaluation to prevent worsening or tendon degeneration.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies based on severity and activity level. Many patients improve within weeks, while chronic cases may require longer-term therapy and monitoring.
Can this condition be evaluated at home?
Yes. In-home evaluation makes it easier to assess daily activities and avoid pain caused by driving or travel. Providers can also recommend modifications based on your environment.
When should I seek medical care for shoulder pain?
Seek evaluation if pain persists longer than a few days, limits movement, causes weakness, follows an injury, or interferes with daily activities or sleep.
Will my insurance cover evaluation for Bicep Tendonitis?
Most insurance plans cover evaluation for musculoskeletal symptoms such as shoulder pain or tendon inflammation. Coverage depends on your individual policy.
