Patient’s own story: My experience of Shockwave Therapy for Achilles Tendinopathy
My chronic calf pain is gone!
Having been a fairly active person most of my life unfortunately at the end of last year I developed achilles tendonitis. At the age of 62 and length of time I’d been struggling on with the restrictive, jarring pain I thought maybe my active days were over.Since being assessed by Mhairi at Stride Orthotics and subsequently treated by Roisin, at last I feel things are improving.
I was very tentative at first as shockwave therapy was completely new to me. Roisin has been amazing explaining in detail, each step of the process putting me at ease. In particular I was worried that my historic sciatic nerve issue in the same leg might be aggravated with the treatment. Roisin listened and watched very closely for any signs of added pain or discomfort. She advised me what to do/not do as well as what to expect on the road to recovery.I am so relieved to finally know that, in time, if I follow the advice given and with weekly treatments I will get back to full fitness.Can’t thank Stride Orthotics enough.
