Achilles Tendon Treatment
Specialized Care for Achilles Tendon Pain and Injuries
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and plays an essential role in walking, running, jumping, and pushing off the foot. Overuse, repetitive strain, or sudden increases in activity can lead to pain and reduced function.
We provide evaluation and treatment for a range of Achilles tendon conditions.
Conditions we treat include:
- Achilles tendinitis and tendinopathy.
- Achilles tendon overuse injuries.
- Insertional Achilles tendon pain near the heel.
- Midportion Achilles tendon pain.
- Calf muscle tightness associated with Achilles symptoms.
- Achilles tendon injuries requiring further evaluation and rehabilitation.
Our treatment approach may include:
- Individualized stretching and progressive strengthening.
- Activity modification and load management.
- Footwear assessment and supportive devices.
- Therapeutic treatments to help manage pain.
- Progressive rehabilitation to improve strength and function.
- Referral for additional evaluation when a significant tendon tear or rupture is suspected.
Early assessment and appropriate treatment can help prevent symptoms from becoming persistent and support a safer return to activity.
