Tune in as Dr. Junak and Dr. Giambattista discuss the complex treatment and management of achilles tendon pain. Achilles problems can linger and be very difficult to treat frustrating both patients and providers. Oftentimes, patients will see many different providers without pain relief and end up spending lots of money buying new shoes, custom orthotics, and scraping tools without identifying the cause of the problem. In this episode we cover the purpose of the achilles tendon, what key muscles make up the achilles tendon (hint there is more than 1), and the different types of achilles tendon pathology. We also walk you through researched based treatment options and how they are applied in practice in relation to:
- Activity modification
- Tendon loading
- Joint mobilization
- Stretching
- Dry needling
- Orthotics
- Shoes
- Screening other parts of the body
Don’t miss this episode, there is a ton of information to learn!
