Fighting Off Injury
I have developed a mild case of Achilles Tendinitis. This is really nothing new. It started years ago when I was running alot and never really got better. It just gets aggravated when I run. Kristi convinced me to see a chiropractor that does "soft tissue treatments". One of her friends used him and said that he works miracles. I was all for trying it because I have no intentions of slowing down. He did a very thorough assessment and found several areas that were "injured" that I didn't even know about. Plantar fascia, calf muscle, hip flexor, back...then the treatment began. It was not your standard cracking and popping chiropractic adjustment. Think deep tissue massage, with tools!! I am pleased to report that it did provide some relief when completed, but not without a price. The treatment is more painful than the injury. Kristi took the picture below while he was working a knot out of my calf.
