How We Treat It
The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel—and it takes on a huge amount of stress with every step, jump, and stride. Our approach focuses on reducing pain, improving tendon function, and rebuilding strength and load tolerance over time.
Our approach includes:
Chiropractic Adjustments: Improve ankle and lower limb mechanics to reduce strain on the tendon.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Release tight or restricted tissue in the calves, Achilles, and plantar fascia.
Dry Needling: Calm trigger points and increase blood flow to the tendon for healing.
Shockwave Therapy: Especially effective for chronic Achilles tendinosis or stubborn pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
Rehabilitation Exercises: Focused on progressive loading, eccentric calf work, and restoring strength, mobility, and control.Benefits to you:
Reduced pain and stiffness in the Achilles and calf
Better performance with walking, running, or jumping
Faster recovery with fewer flare-ups
A stronger, more resilient tendon that can handle your training -

FAQs About Achilles Injuries
How do I know if I have Achilles tendinitis or tendinosis?
Tendinitis tends to be newer and more inflamed, while tendinosis is chronic and degenerative. We evaluate the stage and severity to tailor your treatment.Is it safe to exercise with Achilles pain?
Yes—with guidance. Movement and loading are key to tendon healing, but it needs to be structured and progressive.Will I need imaging?
Not usually. A thorough physical exam is typically enough unless there are signs of a tear or rupture.How long does it take to heal?
Tendons heal slowly. Most patients improve significantly over 8–12 weeks with consistent care and loading progressions.Can shockwave therapy help?
Yes—especially for chronic cases that haven’t responded to stretching, rest, or traditional therapy.
