Introduction

Welcome to Bowling Orthopaedics, the leading orthopaedic clinic specializing in providing comprehensive treatment options for Achilles tendon injuries. If you're suffering from this condition, you've come to the right place. Our highly skilled team of experts will guide you through various treatment options to ensure a successful recovery and help you regain your mobility and strength.

About Achilles Tendon Injury

The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It plays a crucial role in everyday activities such as walking, running, and jumping. However, this tendon is prone to injury due to its constant use and high load-bearing capacity.

There are two common types of Achilles tendon injuries - Achilles tendinitis and Achilles tendon rupture. Achilles tendinitis refers to inflammation and degeneration of the tendon, often caused by overuse or repetitive strain. On the other hand, Achilles tendon rupture is a more severe condition where the tendon partially or completely tears.

Treatment Options

At Bowling Orthopaedics, we offer a range of effective treatment options tailored to your specific Achilles tendon injury. Our experienced team will assess your condition, medical history, and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable treatment plan.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

Non-surgical treatments are typically the first line of defense against Achilles tendon injuries. These options focus on managing pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing. Some common non-surgical treatment options include:

  • Rest and Immobilization: Restricting movement and avoiding activities that aggravate the injury can help alleviate pain and promote healing.
  • Ice and Heat Therapy: Alternating between ice packs and heat therapy can reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation to the affected area.
  • Physical Therapy: Engaging in specific exercises and stretches under the guidance of a physical therapist can help strengthen the Achilles tendon, improve flexibility, and restore function.
  • Orthotic Devices: Customized shoe inserts or braces can provide additional support and stability to the injured tendon during the healing process.
  • Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain relievers may be prescribed to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

2. Surgical Treatments

In cases where non-surgical treatments do not provide adequate relief or for more severe injuries like Achilles tendon ruptures, surgical intervention may be recommended. Our expert orthopaedic surgeons specialize in advanced surgical techniques to repair and reconstruct the Achilles tendon. The specific surgical options include:

  • Achilles Tendon Repair: This procedure involves stitching the torn tendon back together to restore its function and strength.
  • Achilles Tendon Reconstruction: In cases of severe tendon damage, a tendon transfer or graft may be necessary to reconstruct the Achilles tendon.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery and rehabilitation play a vital role in ensuring a successful outcome after Achilles tendon injury treatment. Our dedicated team will guide you through a customized rehabilitation program involving exercises, physical therapy, and regular follow-up appointments. The duration of recovery varies depending on the severity of the injury and chosen treatment modality.
