Understanding Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendonitis refers to the inflammation and irritation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition often occurs due to overuse, repetitive strain, or sudden increases in physical activity, commonly affecting athletes and individuals involved in sports that require jumping or running.

Signs and Symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendonitis typically presents with the following signs and symptoms:

• Pain and stiffness in the back of the heel, which may worsen with activity
• Tenderness and swelling
• Thickening or bulging of the Achilles tendon
• Morning stiffness and difficulty walking

Treatment Options for Achilles Tendonitis

At Hello Physio, we offer a wide range of treatment options to effectively manage Achilles Tendonitis:

1. Physical Therapy

Our highly skilled physical therapists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatment may involve a combination of exercises, stretching techniques, manual therapy, and modalities such as ultrasound or laser therapy. Physical therapy aims to strengthen the affected area, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve overall flexibility and mobility.

2. Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes high-intensity sound waves to stimulate the healing process of the affected tendon. This innovative treatment option can effectively accelerate tissue regeneration and promote pain relief.

3. Orthotic Devices

Customized orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or heel cups, may be recommended to provide additional support and reduce stress on the Achilles tendon during physical activities. These devices help to correct biomechanical imbalances and optimize healing.

4. Modified Activity and Rest

Rest and modification of activities that aggravate the symptoms are crucial in the recovery process. Our team will provide detailed guidance on suitable modifications to your activity levels and teach you proper techniques to prevent future injuries.

5. Anti-inflammatory Medication

In some cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or corticosteroid injections may be prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. These medications are only recommended after a thorough evaluation by our expert physical therapists.

Prevention and Long-Term Management

Preventing Achilles Tendonitis and minimizing the risk of re-injury is essential. Our team at Hello Physio will guide you through effective preventive measures, including:

• Gradual progression of physical activity
• Proper warm-up and cool-down exercises
• Regular stretching and strengthening routines
• Using appropriate footwear
• Listening to your body and respecting rest days

By incorporating these measures into your daily routine, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing Achilles Tendonitis or experiencing a recurrence.
