NSAIDs (Short-Term)
for Repetitive Strain Injury
Short-term NSAIDs reduce acute pain in tendinopathy, facilitating early loading — but long-term use may impair tendon healing.
How it works
COX inhibition reduces local prostaglandin-driven pain sensitisation. However, prostaglandins also play a role in tendon healing — chronic NSAIDs may impair collagen synthesis and remodelling.
What to watch for
Use for the shortest effective period. Long-term NSAIDs address symptoms without treating the cause and may impair tendon healing. Must be combined with ergonomic modification.
