Achilles Tendon Conditions
Relief For Heel, Calf & Tendon Injuries
Expert Care for Achilles Pain and Injury
The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel and allows you to walk, run, and jump. Because it bears so much stress, it’s one of the most commonly injured tendons.
At the
Ankle & Foot Clinic, we diagnose and treat a wide range of Achilles conditions — from mild irritation to full ruptures — helping patients regain strength and mobility.
Common Conditions
Achilles Tendinitis – Inflammation from overuse or tight calves, often in athletes. Treated with rest, ice, stretching, and orthotics.
Achilles Tendinosis – Chronic degeneration with thickening or stiffness. Treated with rest, therapy, or minor surgery if severe.
Tendon Tear or Rupture – Sudden sharp pain, swelling, or loss of strength. May require bracing or surgical repair depending on severity.
Bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid sac near the heel, often from overuse or tight shoes. Managed with ice, heel lifts, and anti-inflammatory care.
Xanthomas – Small cholesterol deposits that appear as bumps on the tendon. Usually harmless but may indicate high cholesterol.
