Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis accounts for around 13% of running injuries. The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. This Tendon connects the calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus) and provides the power and drive in the push off phase of the gait cycle. The Achilles tendon can become inflamed through overuse as well as a number of other factors. Achilles tendonitis may be acute or chronic. Acute Achilles tendonitis is a result of overuse.
Achilles tendonitis symptoms include:
- Acute inflammation
- Achilles Tendonitis pain may increase gradually during exercise. Swelling may appear over the Achilles tendon.
- Redness may appear over the skin in the area of the tendonitis.
- You may feel a cracking or creaking sensation when you press your fingers into the tendon while moving the foot.
- Chronic Achilles tendonitis will often follow on from acute Achilles tendonitis if the acute tendon injury is not treated properly and given time to heal. Chronic Achilles tendonitis is a difficult condition to treat. The pain experienced during the acute phase of the injury may well disappear after a warm session, and may return when training has stopped.
Symptoms for chronic Achilles Tendonitis are similar to those of acute tendonitis as well as:
- Stiffness and pain in the Achilles tendon are especially noticeable in the morning. This pain may be described has none specific or generalized pain of the area.
- Nodules or lumps may appear in the Achilles tendon, 2cm above the heel.
- Tendon pain may appear when walking up a hill or incline.
- Chronic tendinitis differs from acute tendinitis in that it is a much more of a long term problem.
Causes of Achilles Tendonitis
An Overuse are the main factor and the basic cause of this injury, however other factors can make an overuse injury more likely.
Running up inclines and hills will mean the Achilles tendon has to stretch more than normal. This exasperates and worsens this condition.
Overpronation, meaning feet which roll in, will place an increased strain on the Achilles tendon. As the foot rolls in and (flattens) the lower leg rotates inwards which then twists the Achilles tendon placing torsion stress along the length of the Achilles tendon.
Treatment of Achilles Tendonitis
Rest and apply cold therapy or ice (not directly onto the skin). Wearing a heel pad, as a temporary measure, to raise the heel and take the strain off the Achilles tendon. Rest while the Achilles tendon is healing..

Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy/Treatment
The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Physiotherapy 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;
Athletic and sports injuries. Cold laser therapy, accelerating the healing process.
