Researchers Suggest Curcumin to Treat Tendonitis

Tendonitis is painful inflammation of one or more tendons. A tendon is a tough band of collagen-rich connective tissue that connects muscles to bones and enables them to handle force. This is similar to the idea of a shock absorber. Repetitive use, as occurs in many sports, can induce wear and tear to the point that tendons become inflamed and begin to accumulate progressive damage. A new study shows that curcumin can turn off inflammation in tendon cells by modulating the core inflammatory gene signal, NF-kappaB. The researchers believe their findings on curcumin “offer scientists an important new lead in the treatment of these painful conditions through nutrition. Curcumin, and chemically-modified versions of it, should be the subject of future investigations and should be used as complementary therapy to reduce the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the only drugs currently available for the treatment of tendonitis and various forms of arthritis.”
