What is Calcified Tendon

[incitatus]

as we age, and particularly after injury, our tendons become less and less flexible, being slowly transformed into a bonelike material. This can result in lack of flexibility, pain and stiffness. There is evidence to suggest that glucosamine and regular light exercise designed around the site of calcification can improve mobility. There are some rare disorders in which tendons and muscles calcify at accelerated rates.
