Treatment through non-invasive neuromodulation in achilles tendinosis: a case report

Abstract

Achilles tendinopathy is caused by excessive and/or repetitive stress on the tendon and the patient refers it as pain when initially loading and disappears with continued activity; the chronicity of the process determines the appearance of a tendinosis characterized by pain, swelling and functional impairment, due to a non-inflammatory degenerative process, with a disorganized collagenous structure. Non-invasive neuromodulation is a technology where by electrical impulses are emitted to improve the performance of the nervous system. These impulses are used to reduce pain, restore mobility and muscle tone.
