Achilles tendinitis is one of the most common overuse injuries presenting in chiropractic practice — and its outcomes vary widely depending on how well it is identified and managed. In Orthopedics 217: Achilles Tendinitis — The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Dr. Michael Hall, DC, FIACN delivers a focused 2-hour online CE course that takes you through the full clinical picture: from straightforward cases that respond quickly to conservative care, to stubborn chronic tendinopathy presentations that test every tool in your toolkit. You will leave with a sharper clinical framework for history taking, examination, imaging, documentation, and multimodal management — all built around real-world patient presentations.

Achilles tendinitis is a common and often underestimated lower extremity condition that can significantly affect a patient's ability to perform daily activities, participate in sport, and maintain overall quality of life. While many cases resolve with appropriate early intervention, others progress to degenerative tendinopathy, partial rupture, or chronic pain — making accurate clinical assessment and timely, targeted management essential skills for every chiropractic practitioner.
In Orthopedics 217: Achilles Tendinitis — The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Dr. Michael Hall, DC, FIACN walks you through the complete clinical pathway for this condition — from first patient contact to discharge planning. The course begins with detailed history taking, focusing on the key questions that differentiate insertional from non-insertional tendinopathy, identify contributing biomechanical factors, and screen for systemic contributors such as fluoroquinolone use, inflammatory arthropathies, and metabolic conditions. A comprehensive physical examination sequence follows, covering palpation, range of motion, provocative tests, and functional movement screening relevant to the Achilles and surrounding structures.
From there, Dr. Hall addresses the full management toolkit: chiropractic treatment strategies including soft tissue therapy and joint mobilization; physical therapy rehabilitation protocols for progressive tendon loading; nutritional interventions targeting collagen synthesis and inflammation modulation; imaging indications and interpretation; and documentation and coding best practices that protect both the patient and the practice. The course concludes with a practical discussion of collaborative care — when to co-manage, when to refer, and how to structure outcomes-based communication with other providers.
