Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendonitis

Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon and usually occurs due to
overuse. Tendons are bands of strong connective tissue that attach
muscle to bone. The most common symptom of tendonitis is pain that is
dull and aching, sharp and burning or radiating.

Recovery from tendonitis is often lengthy.

The Osteopath will work with you to determine the cause of your tendonitis and decide on a course of treatment.

Osteopaths may help your tendonitis by:
– Identifying the cause such as poor sporting technique and postural imbalances.
– Reducing muscular tension and increasing blood flow to the affected tendon via soft tissue massage and stretching.
– Creating a management plan to improve healing time, reduce pain and ultimately a return to normal activity.
