Yes, Im going to go 2 X per week and see if the laser helps. This achilles tendon has been the most chronic injury ever

Stupid me, should read the whole title before i ask a stupid question. Have you ever put a boot on to incapacitate the tendon? Rake had to stop using it completely and pin HGH in to heal it. Recovered from complete sever to better than replacement would have been.

Sucks you have to do this Dzone but the treatment your doing seems cool. I have used ultrasound on my elbows and it took time but helped. Please keep us updated. I am very curious to know if cold laser helps you. Thanks bud.

Dzone, how is that therapy going? I have been thinking about this for over a week with no update.

I have only had 2 treatments and it seems to be better. I am going to get 6 treatments total. Problem is I am inconsistent with the treatments. If I could get them closer together it would be better. This achilles has had me limping since March. Its almost July now. It sucks

It took Rake 3 years to get rid of the limp, but it was a sever. Just be patient and don't do anything to aggravate it. He had to practice walking in the mirror to make sure both feet were landing correctly.

Chronic injuries are a *****. I hope this helps you and I know you will do everything to avoid surgery
