Do you experience pain and tightness in your calf muscle? Is the pain stopping you from running? You could have achilles tendonitis.
Our calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) converge together to form the achilles tendon. Achilles tendonitis occurs when the tendon is inflamed from overuse or used incorrectly.
Factors that contributes to achilles tendonitis include:
Patients with achilles tendonitis may experience:
Pain management and reducing inflammation are keys to manaing achilles tendonitis. Stretching and icing may help to reduce your symptoms in the short term. Long term achilles tendonitis will risk rupturing the achilles tendon. If symptoms persist, call us on 0481342837 to make an appointment.
Our chiropractor is specially trained to provide Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation(IASTM) to manage achilles tendonitis to achieve drug-free, effective and long lasting result. Patients with achilles tendonitis would also be gradually exposed to an exercise program aimed at strengthening the region involved.
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, please do not hesitate to come in for an examination at Spearwood Chiropractic. Call us on 0481342837 to make an appointment.
