Neck complaints

Neck complaints can of course have various causes. The most common are: incorrect posture, stress and tension, sudden overload (work, whiplash, incorrectly positioned, etc.) osteoarthritis, and that is the most common.... Each condition / cause has its own specific approach. I will look for the causes of your complaints and try to influence them and reduce the resulting complaints. For example, if you look at the photo on the right, you can see what forces a bad posture releases in the spinal muscles! I have various techniques for this, such as number 1: my hands, which can massage well when it comes to stress and/or muscles , or in the case of osteoarthritis, the stiff vertebral joints can function smoothly again, and number 2, various equipment to support this. The result: more movement and less pain. And that's what we want, right?

Achilles tendonitis can be treated excellently with the High Energy Focused ESWT Shockwave therapy treatment from Physiotherapy & ShockWave Doetinchem. If you suffer a lot from your Achilles tendon, it may not only be inflamed, but a complete or partial tear of the tendon may even occur. It is also possible that there is inflammation of the bursa under the tendon. The part of the Achilles tendon that is inflamed can be the part above the heel, but swelling can also cause a thickening in the middle of the tendon. Blood flow is limited in this part of the tendon. Causes The cause of Achilles tendonitis is usually the same as that of heel spurs, namely overload due to unprepared (i.e. without warming up) exercise or by simply wearing the wrong footwear (for a long period of time). This may involve a short-term high overload or a long-term low overload. With the latter type, calcifications often occur in the tendon. These are also affected and broken down by the ShockWave. Fortunately, at Physiotherapy & ShockWave Doetinchem we have a lot of experience with both types of Achilles tendonitis, which means we are able to treat you quickly and effectively. Symptoms of Achilles tendonitis include: Mild pain in the Achilles tendon that disappears after a few hours. Pain or severe stiffness when standing up. Pain or irritation when walking (both normal walking and running). It is also possible that your Achilles tendon feels a little thicker or swollen. If your Achilles tendon is torn or torn, you can no longer do anything due to the severe pain that occurs and walking is no longer possible. You should contact a specialist at the hospital immediately. Of course, you can always contact us if you have any doubts because an Achilles tendonitis, for example, is very similar to a heel spur complaint.

If there is a leg length difference or a sagging foot (to a flat foot position, for example), these should preferably be corrected first. Achilles tendonitis can also be easily treated with our Shockwave therapy. After we have recorded the complaints and history during the Intake, we will use our High Tech Ultrasound equipment to determine exactly where your Achilles tendonitis is located and then propose the treatment plan to you. On average, you will need approximately 6 to 8 treatments until your Achilles tendonitis complaints have been resolved. The time between treatments is one week because otherwise we damage more than we heal. So take into account a Shockwave process of about 5 to 8 weeks. Do you want to get rid of your Achilles tendonitis quickly? Contact the specialists at Physiotherapy & ShockWave Doetinchem immediately and we can quickly get started with your complaints and treatment plan.
