Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

Achilles tendinitis causes pain and stiffness along the back of the ankle due to overuse of the body’s largest tendon. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective Achilles tendinitis treatment in Indore to relieve pain and prevent progression to more serious tendon injury.

About Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is essential for walking, running, and jumping. Achilles tendinitis develops when repetitive stress causes inflammation and micro-tears within the tendon, commonly affecting runners and athletes who suddenly increase training intensity. If ignored, Achilles tendinitis can progress to tendon degeneration or, in severe cases, a complete rupture requiring surgical repair.

Symptoms of Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

• Pain and stiffness along the back of the ankle
• Pain that worsens with running or climbing stairs
• Swelling along the tendon
• Tenderness to touch above the heel
• A creaking or crackling sensation with ankle movement

Causes of Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

• Sudden increase in running or training intensity
• Tight calf muscles limiting ankle flexibility
• Improper footwear during sports
• Age-related tendon degeneration
• Overtraining without adequate recovery

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination with palpation of the tendon
• Ultrasound to assess tendon thickening or tearing
• MRI in persistent or severe cases
• Assessment of calf flexibility and running mechanics

Treatment Options

• Rest and activity modification
• Physiotherapy with eccentric calf-strengthening exercises
• Ice application and anti-inflammatory medication
• Heel lifts or orthotic support during recovery
