Achilles Tendinopathy

Treatment options – get back to pain-free movement

• Shockwave Therapy: A regenerative, non-invasive treatment that stimulates healing, increases blood flow, and breaks down scar tissue in the Achilles tendon.
• Dry Needling: A technique that targets tight or painful areas within the tendon and surrounding muscles to promote circulation and release tension.
• Eccentric Strengthening Exercises: Gradual loading exercises that help rebuild tendon strength and resilience, reducing the risk of future injury.
• Custom foot orthotics: If poor foot biomechanics contribute to Achilles pain, custom foot orthotics can help reduce strain and improve foot alignment.
• Footwear Guidance: Wearing the right shoes can make a big difference in reducing Achilles tendon stress. Our podiatrists provide expert recommendations to support your recovery.
• Heel Raises: We can often use heel raises to reduce strain and further tension on the Achilles tendon, aiding in rehabilitation.
• Activity Modification: Adjusting your exercise routine by reducing high-impact activities and incorporating low-impact alternatives can aid in recovery while maintaining fitness.
