Natural Relief for Ankle Pain and Achilles Tendonitis in Evansville & Newburgh

If ankle pain is so intense you can barely walk—or if you're dealing with swelling, stiffness, or shooting pain near your heel—you’re not alone. These symptoms are common in Achilles tendonitis, sprains, and overuse injuries. The good news? You don’t have to live with it or rely on medications or surgery.

At Lobacz Chiropractic, we help patients in Evansville and Newburgh get back on their feet faster using advanced, non-invasive techniques like Class IV Laser Therapy and Shockwave Therapy. Whether your pain is new or chronic, our approach targets the root cause and promotes real healing.

Common Causes of Severe Ankle Pain

Ankle pain that makes it hard to walk could be due to several underlying issues. These are the most common conditions we treat:

Achilles Tendonitis

This is inflammation of the tendon that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. It often causes:

• Stiffness in the morning or after sitting

• Pain behind the heel during walking or running

• Swelling or thickening around the tendon

• Limited range of motion or weakness

Ankle Sprains

A sprained ankle happens when ligaments are stretched or torn, leading to:

• Sharp pain on the outside or inside of the ankle

• Swelling and bruising

• Instability or difficulty bearing weight

Peroneal Tendonitis or Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction

These lesser-known causes of ankle pain can mimic more common issues and often go undiagnosed. If your foot feels weak or collapses inward, it could be tendon dysfunction—not just a simple sprain.

Why Choose Lobacz Chiropractic for Ankle Pain?

While rest, ice, and compression may help in the short term, they often don’t fix the underlying issue. At Lobacz Chiropractic, we go deeper—helping you heal naturally and fully with the latest technology and targeted care.

Class IV Laser Therapy

Our Class IV Laser Therapy is a powerful, FDA-cleared treatment that penetrates deep into tissue to:

• Reduce pain and inflammation

• Increase circulation to injured tendons and ligaments

• Accelerate cellular repair and regeneration

Many patients report noticeable relief after just a few sessions—even if their pain has lingered for weeks or months.

Shockwave Therapy for Tough Injuries

For stubborn or chronic cases like Achilles tendonitis, we use Shockwave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that:

• Breaks up scar tissue and adhesions

• Stimulates healing in areas with poor blood flow

• Reduces chronic pain without injections or surgery

This therapy is especially effective for patients who feel like they’ve “tried everything” without success.

What to Expect at Our Office

We start with a thorough evaluation of your ankle mechanics, muscle balance, gait, and posture. From there, we customize a plan that may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments

• Soft tissue therapy

• Laser or shockwave treatments

• Rehab exercises for long-term strength and stability

We’re not just treating the pain—we’re fixing the source.

When Should You Seek Care for Ankle Pain?

You should never ignore ankle pain that makes it hard to walk. If you're experiencing:

• Pain that doesn’t improve within a few days

• Swelling, warmth, or tenderness

• A sharp or burning sensation in the back of your ankle

• Pain with every step you take

…it’s time to get checked out. The sooner we begin treatment, the faster (and more completely) you’ll heal.
