About Achilles Tendinopathy
What you should know
If your Achilles pain hasn't improved with rest, stretching, or physical therapy, you may be dealing with chronic Achilles tendinopathy. This is a degenerative condition where the tendon tissue breaks down and loses its ability to heal without targeted stimulation. Unlike acute injuries, chronic tendinopathy rarely resolves on its own — it requires a treatment that triggers the biological repair process.
Our approach
How We Treat Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy
At Chiropractic Remedy, we focus on stimulating healing in damaged tendon tissue — not just masking symptoms.
For chronic Achilles tendinopathy, we use focused shockwave therapy to:
- 1Increase blood flow to the damaged tendon
- 2Stimulate collagen production for tissue repair
- 3Break down chronic degenerative scar tissue
- 4Reduce pain sensitivity at the heel and calf insertion
- 5Promote long-term tendon strength and recovery
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical, drug-free, and requires no downtime. Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few treatments.
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
- Your Achilles pain has lasted longer than 6–8 weeks
- Rest, stretching, or physical therapy hasn't fully resolved the issue
- You want to avoid cortisone injections or surgery
- You want to return to running, walking, or sport without ongoing pain
- You're looking for a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment option
