Radiofrequency for runner's Achilles tendon
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses a gentle energy treatment (radiofrequency) on the Achilles tendon, the band at the back of your heel, to see if it improves the tendon's health and structure in runners. It may help prevent injuries or improve recovery.
