Effective Treatment for achilles tendon pain by Birmingham Shockwave

The Achilles Tendon is at the back of your foot above the heel and is used when doing most forms of exercise and walking. Overuse and accidents can damage the Achilles tendon thereby requiring treatment to heal it. Shockwave therapy can provide targeted pain relief which is non-intrusive and works quickly.

Many sports people or those who are often on their feet can suffer from Achilles Tendonitis. Pain in the Achilles or swelling and reducing motion can be common signs and require rest and treatment.

Mild tendon injuries can sometimes heal within a couple of weeks but more serious cases can take a lot longer. At Central Pain Relief we can offer you a pain-free form of therapy for your Achilles Tendonitis.Tennis elbow, also known as Lateral Epicondylitis, occurs at the outer edge of the bony point of the elbow. It is a common overuse injury which was originally named due to its frequent occurrence in tennis players. However, anyone who may use their arms and hands a lot can experience this - Musicians, plumbers, weight lifters etc...

Microscopic tears in the common extensor tendons of the hand, particularly at the attachment point on the elbow,  along with poor recovery results in poor healing of the tendon.

As the injury continues into a chronic state, the tissue changes and becomes thickened and disorganised. This further prevents the area from healing. As the area is not necessarily inflamed, it won't respond to anti-inflammatory treatments.

Shockwave can reverse these changes, stimulate controled inflammation and, therefore, healing of the tendon.
