This is often a painful condition that results in pain at the back of the heel/ ankle.
Both inflammation of the tendon and damage on the cellular level are successfully treated with Shockwave therapy, together with a tendon strengthening rehabilitation program.
The number of shockwave therapy sessions is typically 3-5 with 5-10 days in-between sessions.
Achilles tendinopathy refers to degeneration within the large tendon which joins the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus).
Achilles tendon pain may be felt during activity and often begins with mild pain after exercise or running that gradually worsens.
Tenderness can be felt along the course of the tendon and in some cases there may be the presence of a localized nodule (small sack of fluid) on the tendon.
Cumulated microtraumas from repetitive overloading can result in chronic tendinopathy (tendinitis or tendinosis).
