COMPEX treatment for pain in the Marathon: Achilles Tendinopathy

COMPEX leading brand in electrostimulation over the coming weeks will tell us the many benefits of electrostimulation for the long distance corridor.  The first on the list will be the Runner's Achilles Tendinopathy Treatment.

 

 

What is it?

Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common conditions in long-distance runners.

 

How does it manifest?

At first the tendon produces a lot of pain, it is hot, red, swollen and moving the foot usually causes a crunching sensation. Then it is necessary to take a break in sports practice (in any case avoid running on foot). At this level, perform repeated sessions of a TENS pain relief program It is an effective therapy against pain.

 

How do we detect the second phase?

It is detected at the moment that the preceding signs have disappeared or have been considerably attenuated, it is the chronic phase that corresponds to a healing period of microlesions of the tendinous fibers.

 

In this stage, the endorphinic program applied to the muscles of the calf (sural triceps) at the rate of 2 daily sessions, causes an improvement of the blood circulation and the irrigation of the tendon, which favors the vascularization of the tendinous tissue.

 

 

Latest recommendations:

In all cases, the precise diagnosis and the search for a possible cause or triggering factors should not be omitted and will be treated by a professional physiotherapist who can recommend other therapies to accelerate the rehabilitation and allow a faster return to sports practice.
