Achilles tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy

Care for Achilles tendinopathy begins with identifying the cause and assessing how the affected area moves. DeFabio Chiropractic’s approach uses a comprehensive health history, orthopedic and neurological examinations, musculoskeletal strength and range-of-motion testing, X-rays, and referral to the appropriate specialist if necessary. The practice’s techniques include Active Release for muscle tension and adhesions, and Radial Pulse Wave therapy for chronic tendon issues and acute pain.

Once the findings are clear, the practice may use a thorough treatment schedule with chiropractic adjustments, muscle stimulation, laser therapy, Graston Therapy, TECCAR Winback Therapy, or Shockwave Therapy. Corrective exercise, assisted stretching, rehabilitative conditioning, and active care or lifestyle modification may then support the correction phase.

DeFabio Chiropractic begins with a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis before recommending treatment. The care plan may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, movement training, or other non-surgical options when appropriate for the findings.
