Treatment for achilles tendon pain
Symptoms and Body Signals
You might experience swelling, reddening, and warmth around your heel. Many people notice stiffness, impaired movement, or sudden throbbing pain. Your body is waving red flags, urging you to pay attention. These symptoms can range from mild discomfort to sharp pain, often making daily activities challenging. While these signals can be frustrating, remember that your body is guiding you towards healing, and there are effective ways to address them.
Causes
The leading cause of the pain is one-sided movements resulting in excessive tension in your muscles and fasciae. Several factors contribute to this tension:
- Overuse or underuse of connected muscles
- Sudden increase or intensifying of physical training
- Training errors
- Wearing inappropriate shoes
- Exercising on uneven terrains
- Certain medications (e.g., cortisone, immunosuppressive drugs)
- Food additives like MSG (monosodium glutamate)
- Anatomical characteristics (e.g., foot pronation, decreased blood supply)
These factors can lead to musculofascial shortenings, where muscles and fasciae become unyielding due to restricted movement patterns. This creates tension that transfers to the Achilles tendon, potentially causing irritation, inflammation, tears, or even ruptures. Understanding these causes is the first step towards finding relief and restoring balance in your body.
How Awari Health Can Help
Good news! There are non-surgical, non-medicinal ways to treat Achilles tendon issues. Awari Health’s approach starts with an osteopressure treatment that often significantly reduces pain immediately. This technique targets the tension causing the signal pain. If successful, it indicates that targeted stretches can provide long-term relief. In just one session, you’ll know if this therapy could work for you.
Our method aims to rebalance muscular-fascial tensions, addressing root causes rather than just masking symptoms. Think of it as untangling a knotted rope – we work out the tight spots, allowing your body to function smoothly again. This approach helps you better understand and respond to your body’s signals, paving the way for lasting relief.
Additional Important Information
While Achilles tendon issues are common, they’re not inevitable. Regular stretching and proper exercise can prevent many problems. Hot and cold treatments can provide some relief, but they don’t address the underlying causes. It’s crucial to address any issues promptly, as continued stress on the tendon can lead to more severe conditions over time.

Remember, healing is a journey, and Awari Health is here to guide you every step of the way. With the right approach, you can get back to doing what you love, pain-free.
