In this video, we'll be discussing how shockwave therapy can help relieve chronic Achilles tendonitis. Achilles tendonitis is a common injury that affects many athletes and people who engage in physical activities that involve jumping, running, or repetitive stress on the Achilles tendon.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing process. It has been shown to be effective in treating chronic Achilles tendonitis by reducing pain and inflammation, improving blood flow to the affected area, and promoting tissue regeneration.
During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver shockwaves to the affected area. This may cause some discomfort or mild pain, but the treatment typically lasts only a few minutes and is generally well-tolerated. Most patients require several sessions of shockwave therapy to achieve the desired results.
If you're suffering from chronic Achilles tendonitis and are looking for a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option, shockwave therapy may be a good choice for you. Watch this video to learn more about how this innovative therapy can help relieve your pain and improve your quality of life.

Hello, how many times for a three motos Aquilles operated tendon?
@drtoddsullivan
@drtoddsullivan Год назад
I would start with 5 visits 1-2x per week and reevaluate the patient. Some patients that provides relief and some patients need more treatments.

@@chetanrs Yes CT can cause chronic pain and even tendon tears. I would highly recommend you find someone who has focused shockwave.

not done by you but it was one of the most painful treatments I have ever had- almost unbearable

Do you know what type of shockwave it was? Was it Radial or Focused? Was the treatment followed up by laser therapy? I used Focused Shockwave and can adjust the intensity for patients to tolerate it and then we perform laser therapy to calm down the painful location.

I'm not sure what kind it was and it was not followed up by anything after. It did help but its still an issue and PRP was suggested as next step but was told that is even more painful so I have yet to try it. @@drtoddsullivan

1000% agree on the pain! . But along with eccentric exercises, I am optimistic for a positive response.

I wonder if it works with insertional achilles tendonitis.? Pain in the heel mostly not mid portion.
@drtoddsullivan
@drtoddsullivan 11 месяцев назад
Yes it works great for Achilles tendon problems. If it’s very inflamed I will use laser therapy to calm down the tendonitis and then shockwave therapy to help heal the tendon. If it is chronic we just use shockwave.

@@drtoddsullivan Thank you kindly for the reply. I have developed insertional Achilles from playing pickleball. I have it for more than six months and I even avoid walking now. I used to play pro soccer but never had issues. The hard court I believe caused the problem. Maybe you know better but it seems that insurance does not cover the cost so when I go to Europe I will have a few sessions there. The cost difference is huge. Thanks again.

@@osint6372 good luck with the treatment I’m sure it will help. Keep massaging and stretching the calf muscle to take stress of the Achilles tendon.

@@drtoddsullivan Dr. Thank you sincerely for your input. I have suffered enough with this achilles injury. One quick question if you would like to offer your opinion. My orthopedic Dr prescribed a week course of oral steroids to ease the pain for an impingement shoulder issue due to lifting weights. However, I am worried that if I take the pills it will also affect (weaken) my achilles and increase the chances or rupture. I was reading that even one week of oral steroids will cause issues but not sure. Thanks in advance.
