Home Achilles Tendon

Fornham — Achilles Tendonitis

The Achilles tendon attaches your calf muscles to your heel bone. Every time you walk, run or jump this tendon stretches and contracts, meaning that the Achilles is a part of the body put under constant strain.

Intense and continuous physical activity like running can result in painful inflammation of the Achilles over time due to the repeated stretching-and-contracting action. This inflammation is what’s known as Achilles tendonitis.

The team at Fornham Chiropractic are experienced at treating Achilles Tendonitis and many other problems of the foot or lower leg.

Who suffers from Achilles tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis often afflicts those who start running without properly warming up, or have a sudden increase in physical activity levels without building up slowly to allow the body to adjust. Symptoms of Achilles tendonitis include tight calf muscles, a reduced range of motion and an abnormally hot heel. IN some cases the back of the heel itself may even begin to swell.

This is one of the most common forms of foot pain, and one of the main complaints we deal with at Fornham Chiropractic Clinic.

What can Fornham Chiropractic Clinic do for your Achilles tendonitis?

In the case of conditions like Achilles tendonitis, Fornham chiropractic offers the very latest treatment techniques. Our shockwave therapy is non-invasive, completely safe and not at all painful. It releases short pulses of mechanical energy into the affected area in order to promote cell growth, restore the affected tissue back to normal and increase blood flow to the Achilles tendon.

We also pair our treatments with lifestyle changes you can incorporate into your daily routine, such as gentle exercises and stretching that you can complete at home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Peter has been fantastic with helping me heal a hip and lower back problem that has been bothering me for years. What I have really appreciated is the knowledge that I have gained about my body during this process, the exercises that are now a part of my routine, that I know I can use to mediate any flare ups. It has deepened my awareness of pain in that area and what I need to do if I feel a twinge. The treatment at the beginning when I was in a lot of pain, immediately relieved it and it feels like we have collaborated in this healing process which can only have made it more effective. Peter listens really well, is informative, professional and has a warm kind energy about him, I highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suddenly developed a really bad back problem whilst cycling, to the point where I could hardly move. Not knowing what to do, I contacted Fornham Chiropractic Clinic and saw Ben.

Ben was brilliant from the start. He was very thorough, always checking how things were improving and adjusting the treatment as I progressed. He took the time to explain what was going on, what was working and what we needed to do next. He also considered how my back was affecting my work and the activities I enjoy outside of work.

I always felt he genuinely cared about getting me back to normal and that I was in very good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
