Do you have Achilles pain?
Interested in free Physiotherapy?
Are you between 19-60 years old?
Have you experienced your Achilles pain for at least 3 months?
If yes, join our clinical trial to look at the effectiveness of intramuscular stimulation (IMS), a form of acupuncture therapy, in treating Achilles tendon pain.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: IMS or placebo treatment. Both groups will receive 12 weeks of physiotherapy which will take place at a research centre in Vancouver.
The therapy consists of an exercise program, which is currently the gold standard for treating Achilles pain.
