Have you been suffering from achilles tendon pain for a while now?
You have tried all the usual advice including rest, ice, stretching but it doesn’t seem to be resolving?
Here at Elevate Physiotherapy, we now offer Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) which is a non-invasive treatment that uses a specific type of high energy sound wave to stimulate healing in the affected tissues.
Achilles Tendinopathy is one of the most well-researched conditions in the use of shockwave therapy. Studies have consistently shown that shockwave therapy can help to reduce pain and improve function and the most effective treatment for Achilles Tendinopathy is a combination of shockwave therapy and strengthening exercises.
Treatment at Elevate Physiotherapy is always preceded by a thorough initial assessment by a fully qualified Physiotherapist to ensure a holistic approach to your care. A full history will be taken to make sure shockwave is suitable for you, and additional advice on exercise and self-management will be discussed to allow for best results. Improvements in symptoms can be noticed quickly, with benefits being apparent within a few weeks of starting treatment.
If Achilles Tendinopathy is affecting your life, causing pain and limiting your activity, why not get in touch today and see how we can help you get back on your feet.
