Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles Tendinitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, a band of tissue that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone. It is common in athletes and can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness near the back of the ankle. If left untreated, Achilles Tendinitis can worsen and lead to further complications such as ruptures of the tendon. Treatment for Achilles Tendinitis may involve rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in extreme cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to avoiding long-term damage and reduced mobility.
