A study suggests that we should be using shock-wave therapy instead of just physical therapy (eccentric loading) to promote active recovery for refractory achilles tendinopathy
An orthopedic I saw at HSS last year for my chronic ankle pain recommended Shockwave therapy for my chronic ankle pain. I am still not sure what the cause of my pain is (if its tendon related or something else), but may be this might be worth trying if there's no negative effects
I think strengthening stabilizer muscles doesn’t pose any harm, and might help with tendon laxity if there is any in the foot — I feel as though it has helped me focus on where my foot is supposed to be in 3D space if that makes sense
