                                            Struggling with Achilles Tendonitis? Shockwave Therapy Might Be Your Answer!
🧐What is Achilles Tendonitis?
It is a condition where the achilles tendon becomes inflamed and sore. This causes pain and swelling at the back of the ankle.
Shockwave therapy may sound scary but it is extremely easy and majority of the time pain free. It has many benefits including:
🩸Increases Blood Flow: The shockwaves promote increased circulation to the affected area. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients can reach the injured tissue.
💪🏼Promotes tissue repair: Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the healing process in damaged tissues. For achilles tendonitis, the therapy targets the tendon where inflammation and micro-tears have occurred.
🧪Boosts collagen repair: The therapy encourages the production of collagen, a protein that is essential for tissue repair. This helps to regenerate and repair the damaged tendon, which can improve flexibility and reduce discomfort.
🦴Breaks Down Calcifications: In some cases of chronic achilles tendonitis, calcium deposits can form in the tendon. Shockwave therapy helps break down these calcifications, which can reduce pain and stiffness.
