Improved Mobility After a Long-Standing Achilles Tendon Injury
In September 2024, I sustained a partially ruptured Achilles tendon while playing pickleball. I chose to treat the injury non-surgically, as my research showed that long-term outcomes are often similar with non-surgical and surgical treatment.
After more than 18 months of physical therapy, I was still limping. I could not rise up onto my toes, and I continued to have pain, stiffness, and swelling. At that point, I was beginning to feel that my Achilles might never fully recover.
I then began treatments with the ENS Plus 2 device.
Within the first few sessions, I noticed that the pain and swelling had decreased. After about 17 sessions, I was finally able to rise up onto my toes — something I truly did not expect to be able to do again. I was also able to go up and down stairs using my toes from both feet.
After approximately 22 sessions, I was hiking, walking on the beach, standing on my feet for longer periods of time, and mostly feeling normal again. Sometimes I even forgot that I had injured my Achilles. I am now relearning how to walk normally and rebuilding strength in my leg muscles.
Since beginning treatment with the device, I have noticed increased mobility, less stiffness, and improved walking. My limp has not completely disappeared, but it has decreased significantly. The chronic swelling has also subsided considerably.
I was also surprised to notice improvements beyond my Achilles injury. During the course of treatment, my sleep and digestion improved as well.
At a later treatment, I came in with a painful kink in my neck. After only a few minutes of treatment with the ENS Plus 2, the pain was gone. I was amazed at how quickly it worked for that acute pain, compared with the longer process of helping my chronic Achilles injury recover. It made me wish I had known about this technology when I was first injured.
My chronic Achilles tendon injury now feels less noticeable over time, and I am very encouraged by the progress. I would recommend this treatment to anyone dealing with a long-standing injury that has resisted healing through other approaches.
