What Causes

Achilles Tendinopathy

This is an overuse injury affecting the large tendon at the back of your ankle. It is often triggered by a rapid increase in physical activity, consistently wearing unsupportive footwear, or having tight calf muscles, all of which place excessive strain on the Achilles tendon.

Symptoms

The primary symptom is pain and stiffness along the back of the heel, especially in the morning or after rest. The area may be tender, swollen, and the pain often worsens with activities like running, jumping, or climbing stairs.

Treatment

Treatment focuses on reducing the load on the tendon through activity modification and specific exercises to strengthen the calf muscles. A podiatrist can correct underlying biomechanical issues with footwear advice, heel lifts, or custom orthotics to improve function and prevent recurrence.
