Achilles Tendonitis & Tight Calves Therapy if you live in Brunswick East
About
Achilles tendonitis and tight calves fall under the category of overuse injuries, arising from repetitive actions such as jumping or running that place strain on the foot. These conditions are not limited by age and can impact anyone, with the degree of susceptibility being influenced by the extent to which one engages their feet in daily activities.
We highly recommend individuals dealing with persistent Achilles tendonitis accompanied by tight calf muscles to consider scheduling a Dry Needling (Medical Acupuncture) appointment. This conservative approach has proven to be remarkably effective in addressing Achilles tendonitis and providing a lasting solution.
We can also treat Achilles Tendonitis with Massage
We also offer the option of treating Achilles tendonitis through massage therapy. For those who prefer non-needle approaches, our Chiropractors and Massage Therapists can utilize soft tissue techniques like “ART (Active Release Technique)” and “Deep Tissue Effleurage” to address this condition effectively.
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
There are several common causes of Achilles tendonitis that individuals should be aware of:
- Inadequate Warm-Up: Failing to properly warm up before engaging in exercise or physical activity.
- Sudden Stops in Sports: Participating in sports that involve abrupt stops and changes in direction, such as tennis.
- Improper Footwear: Wearing ill-fitting shoes without sufficient arch support.
- Age-Related Factors: The Achilles tendon weakening with age, making it more susceptible to injury.
- Prolonged High Heel Use: Consistently wearing high-heeled shoes over extended periods.
- Hill Running: Engaging in activities like hill running that place added stress on the Achilles tendon.
- Eccentric Strength Deficiency: Insufficient strength in the muscles to control lengthening and contracting, which is important for preventing injury.
Being mindful of these common causes can help individuals take preventive measures to protect their tendons and muscles from strain and potential injury.
Additional Symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis:
Achilles tendonitis can manifest with a range of symptoms:
- Stiffness, Pain, and Reduced Strength: Common symptoms include stiffness, pain, and a decrease in strength in the affected area.
- Redness, Swelling, and Tenderness: The area around the Achilles tendon might appear red, swollen, warm, or tender.
- Pain Aggravated by Repetition: Pain can intensify as you engage in activities that put strain on the Achilles tendon through repetitive movements.
- Night and Morning Pain: Some individuals might experience increased pain in the affected area during the night or upon waking up in the morning.
- Friction Sensation: Activities involving the Achilles tendon might result in a sensation of friction in the affected area.
- Limited Range of Motion: There could be a restricted range of motion when flexing your foot due to the discomfort in the Achilles tendon.
Recognising these symptoms can help individuals identify and address Achilles tendonitis promptly to prevent further aggravation and seek appropriate treatment.
What is the Best Treatment?
The most effective treatment for Achilles Tendonitis and tight calf muscles is Dry Needling (Musculoskeletal Acupuncture).
Our experience has shown that applying acupuncture needles to the entire chain of muscles in the posterior leg (from lower back muscles to the calf) is a highly efficient approach for addressing Achilles Tendonitis and tight calf muscles. Often, the tightness in the Achilles tendon is interconnected with muscle spasms in the calf, hamstring, glutes, and lower back muscles. Treating the entire muscle chain, rather than focusing solely on the calf and Achilles, yields the best results.
