Is it possible to treat Achilles tendinitis with traditional Korean acupuncture therapy?

 

Even in the photo, the Achilles tendons look different.

I'm wondering if acupuncture treatment at a traditional Korean medicine clinic can help improve Achilles tendon that hasn't healed well despite treatment.

 

 

I injured my Achilles tendon and received acupuncture twice at the Korean medicine clinic.

The traditional medicine doctor also examined and mentioned that the skin color is not good and that the area around the Achilles tendon is not in good condition.

 

I thought I would recover quickly if I received acupuncture treatment, but even after two sessions, I didn't feel any improvement, so I switched to muscle strengthening injections at the pain management department for treatment.

 

Although the muscle strengthening injection has been administered, the right Achilles tendon appears redder than the left, and when touched, the muscles around the Achilles seem weak.

 

Recently, I have been doing Achilles strengthening exercises, but I feel fatigue in my ankles afterward.

Especially when wearing sneakers, the Achilles tendon gets pressed and hurts.

Should I have combined traditional Korean medicine and Western medicine from the beginning? I regret it these days.

Would receiving traditional Korean acupuncture and cupping therapy now help strengthen the muscles around the Achilles tendon?

I am also curious about how long the treatment period typically takes for complete Achilles tendon recovery.

 

While exercising, avoiding injury is important, but I also realized that getting prompt treatment when injured is equally crucial for recovery.
