a sports injury doesn't have to become your achilles heel
I had an Achilles tendon problem that two other orthopedic surgeons said only extensive surgery would fix and that it would put me out of commission for 1 year. Dr. Chimes recommended a needling technique, which required a one time, 45 minute, in office procedure. I was playing ball again within a week and had a total recovery. Needless to say, I am grateful to Dr. Chimes and Lake Washington Sports and Spine for getting me back in the game so quickly and with literally no pain.
