Achilles Tendonitis & Tight Calves
About
Achilles Tendonitis and tight calves are known as overuse injuries, due to a repetitive action on the foot such as jumping or running. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, and is determined by how much you use your feet during day to day life.
We strongly encourage anyone with stubborn Achilles Tendonitis with associated tight calf muscles to make a Dry Needling (Medical Acupuncture) appointment. It’s a highly effective conservative therapy used to fix Achilles Tendonitis once and for all.
We can also treat Achilles Tendonitis with Massage
If you are uncomfortable with needles our Chiro and Massage Therapists can treat this condition with soft tissue techniques e.g. “ART (Active Release technique)” and “Deep Tissue Effleurage”.
Common Causes are:
- Not warming up properly before exercise.
- Playing sports that include sudden stops. (E.G. Tennis)
- Poorly fitting shoes with inadequate arch support.
- Weakened Achilles Tendon with age.
- Wearing high heels consistently for a prolonged duration.
- Hill running.
- Poor eccentric strength (How well a muscle lengthens or contacts).
It’s important to be mindful that some of these common causes are easily preventable. Remember, any form of repetitive action will put a strain on your tendons and muscles.
Common Symptoms Of Achilles Tendonitis
It is caused by a repetitive overload of the tendon. The main symptom associated with Achilles Tendonitis is swelling and pain in the back of the heel when walking or running. When trying to diagnose Achilles Tendonitis, it is best to consult a professional practitioner. At Advanced Health our practitioners ensure you get a correct and accurate assessment.
Additional Symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis:
- Achilles Tendonitis usually causes stiffness, pain and loss of strength in the affected area.
- The area of pain may be red, swollen, warm or tender.
- The pain may worsen, as you repetitively use the Achilles tendon.
- There may be more pain in the affected area during the night or when waking up in the morning.
- Feeling friction when doing exercises that use the Achilles Tendon
- Limited range of motion when flexing your foot
What is the Best Treatment?
Dry Needling (Musculoskeletal Acupuncture)
We have found that acupuncture needle application to the entire posterior leg muscle chain (from lower back muscles to the calf) is one of the fastest-acting therapies for curing Achilles Tendonitis and tight calf muscles. It is often the case that the Achilles tendon is tight because the calf, hamstring, glutes and lower back muscles are in spasm- the entire chain of muscles needs to be treated, not just exclusively the Calve and Achilles.
