Achilles Tendonitis

How do I know, I suffer from Achilles Tendonitis?

We have developed a simple, yet very effective, process of addressing this type of pain or health condition. As doctors, we must investigate the symptoms then move on to analyse the causes that potentially generated those symptoms. Ultimately, we will conclude the most effective treatment for your health condition. But you should not worry, this is as one, two three and the pain is gone.

Let’s get to the details now! Shall we?

SYMPTOMS:

The Achilles, also known as the “heel cord,” is a tendon that runs down the back of the lower leg and connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It also facilitates walking movement by helping to raise the heel off the ground. The Achilles tendonitis symptoms include:

Soreness, stiffness, and aching pain.

CAUSES:

Achilles tendonitis is usually caused by a series of repetitive activities involving the Achilles tendon. These activities put extra stress on the tendons, thus resulting to micro-injury of the tendon fibers. Due to these continuous stress factors on the tendons, the body is unable to repair the injured tissues. The structure of the tendons is modified, resulting in ongoing pain.

TREATMENT:

Orthotics – changing the footwear and putting special inserts in the shoes, such as inserts to lift your heel.

Exercise to help stretch and strengthen your Achilles tendon.
