what is achilles tENDINOPATHY?
Achillea tendinopathy is the breakdown of collagen within the Achilles tendon. This is the tendon that connects calf muscle to your heel bone
Symptoms include pain and stiffness in the Achilles at the heel bone or in the tendon just above
It is typically an overuse condition where repetitive activity such as running or jumping and landing puts excessive pressure on the tendon causing cumulative micro traumas which fail to heal fully
Long term degradation of the tendon can increase the risk of a rupture if not treated and corrected
Shockwave Therapy For Achilles tENDINOPATHY
Shock waves are passed through the skin to the injured part of the tendon, using a special hand held probe.
The shock waves applied promote blood flow and stimulate stem cell activity in the tissue providing pain relief while increasing the healing response
Evidence based treatment protocols recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, each 7-10 days apart. More treatments may be indicated and this will be assessed on an individual basis
