How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views Achilles tendinitis as Wind, Cold, or Dampness invasion causing Qi and Blood obstruction, combined with Liver and Kidney deficiency weakening tendon resilience.
Achilles tendinitis causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the heel and back of the ankle, often limiting walking, running, and daily activities through persistent tendon discomfort and reduced mobility. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to address the underlying patterns causing tendon inflammation, promote circulation to affected areas, and restore healthy tendon function through natural healing approaches.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Achilles tendinitis is primarily seen as Wind, Cold, or Dampness invading the tendon and meridians, causing obstruction of Qi and Blood flow that leads to stagnation and inflammation. Deficiency of Liver and Kidney essence may also weaken tendons, making them more prone to injury and slower to heal naturally.
