Learn about the 3 most common running injuries and how shockwave therapy can help you recover faster. Stay injury-free and improve your running performance.
1. Achilles tendinopathy
This is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and swelling of the Achilles tendon (where your calf muscles attach to the heel). It is thought to be caused by microtrauma or repeated small injuries to the Achilles tendon. The theory is that the Achilles tendon does not heal completely after each injury and over time, Achilles tendinopathy may develop.
2. Plantar fasciitis
This is the most common form of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a ligamentous band of tissue that connects the heel to your toes and it supports the arch of the foot. Strain on the plantar fascia can cause it to become weak, swollen or inflamed. This causes heel and sole of foot pain when standing or walking particularly.
3. Shin splints
This condition is also known as medial tibial stress syndrome. It is characterised by pain in the general area of the shin between the knee and ankle. It is very common in runners and athletes and can be particularly difficult to treat.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment modality. It is specifically for tendon and soft tissue injuries and has been proven to be an extremely effective treatment for a range of conditions. Shockwave stimulates blood flow and healing of tissues at a cellular level. It effectively resets the healing process and helps your body to clear itself of inflammation and injury.

Andrew is fantastic! I’ve been visiting him for almost 2 years. Initially once a week and now every 6 weeks, due to how much he has improved the issues with my back.I’ve finally got my life back and it’s all thanks to Andrew!If you’re looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares and caters the sessions based specifically on your pain points, look no further 🙂
I had a great experience visiting Andrew at Chiro London (Waterloo) . He was welcoming, the clinic was clean and well-organized, and Andrew was knowledgeable and attentive. After just a few sessions, I’ve noticed significant improvement in my back pain,. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone seeking chiropractic care!”
I have been a patient for over a year and I absolutely recommend this clinic!Andrew, other than revealed himself as great chiropractor, has been also an incredible supporting person that played a major role in my rehabilitation journey!
A few months ago I was referred to Andrew at Chiro London for lower back pain. Andrew helped me enormously and very quickly noticed a huge difference and seeing a difference in my everyday routine and have improved movement in the gym. Andrew is professional and very knowledgeable, helping me understand and advise on best treatment and way forward. And at a great price too!
I have been suffering from severe chronic spinal pain for many years because of disc protrusions in my neck and lower back, and as a result has seriously affected my quality of life, relationships and hope for the future.My whole life stops when flareups become debilitating, and it’s during these episodes that I’ve wanted to end my life.I’ve been a regular patient at the pain clinic where I receive routine pain psychology appointments to help manage my mood and emotions around the pain.I’ve also seen countless chiropractors and osteopaths and their treatments would only take the edge of the pain while I was waiting for my spinal injections.However, my life suddenly changed after I began treatment with Andrew. I first went to see him for my neck pain which gave me regular headaches and nausea on a daily basis. Within 3 treatments, my pain levels drastically improved and my headaches and nausea diminished substantially by about 95%. He also treats my lower back and I no longer feel any reason for further spinal injections or pain clinic appointments.God knows what I would have done if I hadn’t found Andrew. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is currently going through a similar story that I had to go through. He is very gifted at what he does, and after a thorough examination, he will sense straight away what needs to be done.Going to Andrew has been a life changing experience for me. I now see him once every 6 weeks for maintenance treatments at a very reasonable price, which for me is an incredibly small price to pay in order for me to get my life back!
