Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

Achilles tendinitis is a prevalent condition characterized by pain and discomfort in the back of the ankle, arising from inflammation of the Achilles tendon. This critical tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, playing a vital role in walking, running, and jumping. Achilles tendinitis commonly develops due to overuse, repetitive strain, or sudden increases in physical activity. It is often observed in athletes, runners, and individuals with active lifestyles, though it can affect anyone. The condition can range from mild irritation to severe pain, significantly impacting mobility and quality of life if left untreated.

At EdhaCare, we understand the challenges posed by Achilles tendinitis and are committed to providing comprehensive and effective solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. Our approach combines advanced medical expertise with personalized care to ensure optimal healing and recovery. Whether the condition is acute or chronic, our team of specialists works closely with patients to design treatment plans that address both the symptoms and underlying causes.

Causes and Symptoms of Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles tendinitis typically occurs due to repetitive stress on the tendon. Common causes include:

• Overuse: Excessive physical activity, particularly running or jumping.
• Improper Technique: Incorrect posture or footwear during exercise.
• Sudden Activity Changes: Rapid increases in workout intensity or duration.
• Aging: Tendon flexibility decreases with age, increasing susceptibility.

Symptoms often include pain, stiffness, and swelling near the heel, especially after exercise or prolonged activity. Some individuals experience tenderness when touching the affected area or reduced mobility, making everyday tasks difficult.

Our Approach to Achilles Tendinitis at EdhaCare

At EdhaCare, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating Achilles tendinitis, addressing both pain relief and long-term recovery. Our treatments are evidence-based, focusing on non-invasive methods first and surgical options when necessary.

Non-Surgical Treatments

1. Advanced Physiotherapy

   Physiotherapy forms the cornerstone of Achilles tendinitis treatment. Our skilled therapists employ specialized techniques to reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and strengthen the tendon. Tailored exercise programs help patients regain strength and mobility gradually.

2. Shockwave Therapy

   Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that stimulates healing by delivering acoustic waves to the affected area. This approach promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair.

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

   PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood to create a concentrated plasma rich in growth factors. These injections aid in tissue regeneration and significantly speed up recovery.

4. Personalized Exercise Plans

   Stretching and strengthening exercises are integral to recovery. Our specialists design programs focusing on the calf muscles and Achilles tendon to restore function and prevent recurrence.

5. Pain Management

   Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other pain-relief techniques are used as needed to ensure patient comfort during recovery.

Surgical Interventions

In cases where conservative treatments do not yield desired results, we offer minimally invasive surgical options to repair or remove damaged tissue in the tendon. Surgical procedures are performed by skilled surgeons, ensuring minimal downtime and quicker recovery.
