3 COMMON CAUSES OF Achilles PAIN

Tendinitis

Tendinitis occurs with repetitive stress on the tendon for prolonged periods of time. Improperly fitting shoes and poor athletic form can be contributing factors to the condition.

tendinosis

This degenerative condition occurs with a long-term history of inflammation and microtrauma causes the tendon’s collagen to break down and thicken the tendon’s structures.

bursitis

Bursitis in the Achilles tendon occurs when one or both bursas (fluid-filled sacs) located on the back of the heel becomes inflamed and tender.

HOW YOU CAN FIND RELIEF FROM achilles PAIN

AT WARNER ORTHOPEDICS & WELLNESS, OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO RESTORE YOUR MOBILITY AND HEALTH

1. STRETCH & STRENGTHEN

Daily stretches can improve your range of motion and reduce pain. Other exercises like yoga are also beneficial for overall strength, stability, and flexibility.

2. PHYSICAL THERAPY

At Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, the goal of physical therapy is long-term pain relief and injury prevention. You’ll receive quality care and guidance as you manage your condition. Patients receive a treatment plan focused on their individual needs, that focuses on movement, functionality, and pain reduction.

3. Apropriate footwear & Orthotics

Structural footwear that reduce strain, stress, and rubbing on the Achilles tendon are recommended to reduce pain and irritation. These include shoes with a lifted heel and/or shoes with open backs.

4. PLATELET RICH PLASMA (prp)

Platelets are tiny cell fragments that help promote healing and relieve pain. In PRP therapy the platelets are extracted from the patient’s blood and injected into the site of an injury to relieve damaged tendons or cartilage. It takes less than an hour, and patients can feel results in six to twelve weeks.

5. surgery

At Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, surgery is a last resort treatment that is taken when other noninvasive methods have failed. Most Achilles surgeries can get you back walking in a orthopedic boot within a week.
