Achilles Tendinopathy — Classical Chinese Medicine Support for Stubborn Tendon Recovery
Achilles tendinopathy — both mid-portion and insertional forms — is a common condition affecting runners, middle-aged adults increasing activity, and patients with specific risk factors. It is notoriously slow to recover and requires a structured loading rehabilitation program. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) supports Achilles tendinopathy recovery alongside physiotherapy.
