Achilles Tendon Problems
The Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the human body. It is a non elastic, fibrous tissue that attaches the calf (gastroc and soleus muscles) to the heel bone (calcaneus).

Low Back Pain
Don’t underestimate it. Lumbar (lower back) pain affects 75-85% of the population in a lifetime. Most back pain episodes resolve spontaneously. By using cryotherapy (ice), anti-inflammatories, exercising lightly and avoiding the activity that caused the pain, can be beneficial. Unfortunately, chronic (long-term) back pain can be a significant problem for a smaller percentage of the population and [...] -
Neck Pain

Whiplash
Crash! One minute you’re slowing down, the next minute you’ve been rear-ended. Your head bounces forward and snaps back. Pain is not always experienced immediately. Often it takes a 24 hour period for the muscle spasm to increase and the pain to set in. You’re left with a stiff neck, pain and a headache. Initially, it is [...] -
Posture
Posture “Stand up straight! Keep your shoulders back!” Your mother was right. It is important to be conscious of your posture. Postural awareness prevents and alleviates back and neck pain, allows for optimal use of your muscles and reduces fatigue. And, don’t forget, good posture makes you look younger and slimmer. There is really no downside. Atlanta Sports [...] -
Intramuscular Manual Therapy
What is Intramuscular Manual Therapy? Intramuscular manual therapy involves the use of thin, filament needles to release trigger points or “knots” in muscle tissue. This trigger point release allows a dysfunctional muscle to relax completely. Thus, soft tissue repair is accelerated and tendon tension is decreased. The filament needles are thin and cone-shaped, unlike the serrated needles used for injections. [...] -
