Targeted, whole-body treatment for tendon pain, tight calves, and movement restrictions.

Whether your Achilles pain came on gradually through running or work strain, or suddenly after a misstep or push-off, one thing is always true: it’s not just your Achilles. That pain at the back of your heel isn’t just about overuse—it’s a message from your body that something in your movement pattern needs to change.

At The Acupuncture Turning Point, we treat Achilles tendinitis with a whole-body lens. Using electro-acupuncture and advanced cold (infrared) laser therapy, we reduce inflammation and pain at the tendon—but we also work upstream. We reset calf tension, address hip imbalances, and look closely at walking and loading patterns to stop the injury cycle.

Our approach is not just to relieve pain, but to restore coordination and resilience so you can return to walking, hiking, or training—without limping or guarding.

More Than Just the Tendon

This is one of the most misunderstood injuries. Too often, people are told to stretch their calves or aggressively load the tendon before it’s ready. But tendons heal slowly—and they need calm, not stress, to start.

What helps is this:

Resetting the calf muscles so they stop tugging at the heel

Using cold laser therapy to stimulate healing without strain

Teaching you how to move, walk, and even stand in a way that respects the tendon’s recovery arc

You don’t need a boot to immobilize your ankle, but sometimes that is necessary in extreme cases. What you do need is to relearn how to move and carry your weight systematically, to move again in rhythm with your body.

You are with yourself 24/7. You’re the only one who knows when to rest and when to push.
Our job is to help you tune in—so healing becomes a rhythm, not a fix.
