Tarsal Tunel Syndrome or Medial Calcaneal Nerve Entrapment
Pain which radiates into the foot and the heel, this is a rare condition.
Peroneal Tendinopathy Symptoms, Pain and inflammation on the Peroneal Tendons on the outside of the ankle
Rupture of the Tendon Peroneous Brevis
A Rupture of a tendon which will cause pain on the outside of the foot and ankle
Achilles tendon Area
Total Rupture of the Achilles’ Tendon, also known as Achilles Strain
a complete rupture or tear of the Achilles tendon.
Partial Rupture of the Achilles tendon
a partial Achilles tendon rupture is rarely noticed at the time of injury.
Acute Achilles Tendonitis

Chronic Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendon pain Treated with cold laser therapy.
Achilles Bursitis
This Pain originates at the back of the heel it’s caused by an inflamed Bursa
Haglund’s Syndrome

This pain is associated with children and the pain originates at back of the heel.
Posterior impingement Syndrome
This Is caused by an impingement at the back of the ankle on full plantar flexion. I.e. on tip toes.
Cold laser Therapy/Treatment
The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Clinic are certified as Cold Laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Russia and Japan. In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy. It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.
Cold Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally. In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain. These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.
Low Level Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, non-invasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as; Back pain, Slipped disc, prolapsed disc, herniated disc, Trapped nerves. Lower back pain, Sacroiliac Joint inflammation
Ankle sprains and injuries.
Heel and foot pain injuries plantar fasciitis
Knee pain, injuries, tears, Runners Knee, inflammation

Shoulder Injury
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Arthritis, Muscle Spasm
Relief of Muscle and Joint Pain
Skin infections, including cold sores,
Wound Management including Skin Ulcers, Pressure Sores and Burns
Soft Tissue Injuries including Sprains and Strains, Tendonitis and Haematomas
Joint Disorders including Arthritis, and Tenosynovitis
Chronic pain such as Trigeminal Neuralgia and Chronic Neck and Back pain.
