Achilles Tendon Treatment at Outback Chiropractic Clinic
Your Achilles tendon works continuously, managing tremendous forces as you move through life. This powerful band connecting your calf to your heel bears the impact of every step, jump, and sprint. While naturally resilient, this vital connector may become strained and painful, especially if you enjoy sports, running, or high-impact activities. Even simple daily tasks like walking the dog or climbing stairs can become challenging when this area is compromised.
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
The first warning signs often appear as morning stiffness or discomfort during regular walking. You might notice tenderness when touching the area behind your heel, or the region may feel warm and swollen. These symptoms challenge routine activities and may restrict your ankle’s natural movement.
Many patients describe a sharp or burning sensation that worsens with activity. The pain might decrease briefly with rest, only to return more intensely when you resume normal activities.
Why Early Treatment Makes a Difference
What begins as minor discomfort can snowball into a persistent problem without proper attention. Dr. Gleeson frequently treats patients who put off seeking care only to develop chronic pain patterns. This delay can lead to weakness and, in some cases, complete rupture—a serious injury requiring extensive recovery time. Pushing through the pain may cause further damage to this essential tendon without your knowledge.
Offering Advanced Approaches for Best Results
We take an in-depth approach to healing Achilles tendon pain. Our treatment strategy focuses on several key areas: the calf muscles, which directly affect tendon function; the hamstring, which influences your overall leg mechanics; and the intricate muscles of your foot.
Combining muscle release techniques with precise needle acupuncture stimulates healing and reduces inflammation. While recovery may take time due to the tremendous forces this tendon handles, our methods promote proper healing and help prevent future problems. Each plan is customized to match your activity level and recovery goals.
