The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. Tendinitis is often caused by repetitive motion, overuse, or trauma to the tendons, and can be worsened by certain factors such as age, gender, lifestyle, and preexisting medical conditions.
WE UNDERSTAND THE PAIN TENDINITIS CAUSES AND ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING PERSONALIZED CARE TO ADDRESS YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.
Achilles tendons don’t always heal quickly or fully. A lifestyle change may be necessary to avoid Achilles tendinitis from returning. To treat Achilles tendinitis, the swelling needs to be reduced and the pain needs to be relieved.
If symptoms do not improve from treatment, surgey is an option and may be necessary. Schedule an appointment at Southern Podiatry Clinic where our doctors will evaluate the issue’s severity and select the best approach. We offer two convenient locations; Ponchatoula and Franklinton.
