Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats Achilles tendonitis with eccentric exercise protocol (Alfredson protocol - most effective), addresses biomechanics, uses PRP or prolotherapy for chronic cases, collagen peptides, anti-inflammatory supplements, and addresses fluoroquinolone exposure if applicable. Emphasizes early intervention prevents chronic tendinopathy.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Rest, ice, NSAIDs, physical therapy (eccentric exercises), heel lift, orthotics, PRP or shockwave therapy, surgery if chronic refractory.
NSAIDs impair tendon healing (inflammatory phase needed), inadequate emphasis on eccentric exercises (most effective), corticosteroid injections can cause rupture (should be avoided), doesn't use collagen supplementation (supports healing), surgery often needed if conservative treatment inadequate.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Collagen-supporting nutrients (vitamin C, lysine, proline, glycine), anti-inflammatory diet, omega-3 rich foods, bone broth, adequate protein.
Lifestyle Factors
Eccentric heel drops (Alfredson protocol - MOST EFFECTIVE, 2x/day for 12 weeks), rest from aggravating activities, ice after activity, proper footwear and orthotics if needed, calf stretching, gradual return to activity, PRP or prolotherapy if chronic, avoid NSAIDs (impair tendon healing), avoid fluoroquinolones, surgery if refractory.
