3 Surprising (But Effective) Treatments for Your Achilles Tendinitis

3 Surprising (But Effective) Treatments for Your Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendinitis affects a wide variety of athletes but arguably is most troublesome for runners.

For runners there is no way to work around concentric or eccentric loading of the achilles tendon. This issue has derailed many a race. It certainly hampers training, as it limits volume and makes speed and interval work impossible.

Based on the research and my experience treating runners/triathletes of all levels, I have settled on 3 self­-treatments that can improve the majority of tough cases of achilles tendinitis.

Those treatments are: [Read more…]

Overcoming Plantar Fasciitis

Eric DeRoche DC March 12, 2014

Overcoming Plantar Fasciitis

According to www.runnersworld.com, the 7 most common running injuries are the following:

  1. Runner’s Knee
  2. Achilles Tendinitis
  3. Hamstring Strain
  4. Plantar Fasciitis
  5. Shin Splints
  6. IT Band Syndrome (ITBS)
  7. Stress Fracture

Plantar fasciitis is caused by repetitive strain of the plantar fascia (the thick connective tissue that runs from the calcaneus (heel bone) to each of the 5 metatarsals (the bones that connect toes to ankle bones). Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in runners. Although thought of as an inflammatory process, plantar fasciitis is a disorder of degenerative changes in the fascia, and may be more accurately termed plantar fasciosis. Plantar fasciitis is diagnosed on the basis of a history of pain on taking the first few steps in the morning, worsening pain with weight­bearing, and pain and tenderness to palpation over the medial calcaneal tubercle (Capt. Danielle L. Scher, MD et al).

In my experience, most runners with plantar fasciitis have limited ankle dorsiflexion, tight calf muscles, tight achilles tendon, and dysfunctional hip mechanics. My approach to treating plantar fasciitis is as follows: [Read more…]

What Are ART Treatments Like?

Eric DeRoche DC March 4, 2014

What Are ART Treatments Like?

Active Release Techniques or ART is the primary system I use to treat patients. I began training in ART in 2003 while still a chiropractic student. I began practice in 2004 and have always employed a functional movement approach that includes applying Active Release to tight, overused, and often pain causing soft­-tissues. I have always been gratified at the positive feedback I have received from athletes in particular.

The definition of Active Release Techniques, according to the official ART website, www.activerelease.com, is as follows:

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

When patients ask me what ART treatments are like, I describe it as seeming to be a mix of deep ­tissue massage and stretching. For large muscles, such as hamstring, hip flexors, and quads, I use an assistant to guide the patient through the body movements. Always in ART there is patient body movement while the provider is placing tension on the targeted muscle.
