Let’s look first at Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles Tendonitis pain is the inflammation (itis) of the Achilles tendon, generally triggered by overuse and is more common among active people training under less than ideal conditions. Poor footwear, faulty foot mechanics, and repetitive strain are the most common causes of this condition.
Treatment for Achilles Tendonitis. Vancouver Orthotic Clinics’ specialist assure us that Achilles tendonitis responds well to rest, ice, and massage. It also is aided by the correction of faulty foot mechanics with the use of custom orthotic inserts.

Now, about that pain in your neck and possible solutions
Neck pain (or cervicalgia) is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain, although you might feel it in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal issues. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, and pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.
The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of your neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for your head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversely, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain. Neck pain may also arise from many other physical and emotional health issues.
Why let aches and pains impact your life and mood?
When neck pain arrives it can be quite uncomfortable. Neck pain is in the Top 5 Symptoms patients seek out our services. View this 2-minute video on neck pain from Dr. Michael’s ‘Spine Time’ series on YouTube. Sometime it is due to a motor vehicle accident (MVA), or a sport specific injury or fall; but neck pain is often caused by postural or work related stresses; which include sitting in front of a computer monitor for long hours and poor posture and alignment. Chiropractic care can help with neck pain and related conditions and often leads you to find better healing and health.
