Long Head of Biceps Tendinopathy
The long head of biceps tendon is a common cause of shoulder pain. The biceps muscle has two heads- the ‘short’ head attaches to a bony prominence called the coracoid process and the ‘long’ head attaches to a sleeve of tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint. The long head of biceps tendon runs up through quite a narrow tunnel and due to this can be vulnerable to irritation.
