Achilles Tendon Pain Should Be Treated at the Earliest Possible Moment

If you leave Achilles tendon pain untreated, the tendon can become thickened and scarred, a condition known as Achilles tendinosis, which is much harder to treat.

What is Achilles Tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is when the Achilles tendon, which connects your calf muscles to your heel bone, gets inflamed. This often happens because of overuse or if you suddenly increasing your physical activity. You might feel pain and stiffness in your Achilles tendon, especially in the morning or after you exercise. If we don’t treat it, the inflammation can lead to more serious issues.

What is Achilles Tendinopathy?

Achilles tendinopathy is a broader term that includes both inflammation (Achilles tendonitis) and degeneration of the Achilles tendon. Unlike Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tendinopathy can result from chronic overuse and leads to the breakdown of the tendon fibres, known as Achilles tendinosis. Symptoms include persistent pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected foot. Achilles tendinopathy often develops over time and requires targeted treatment to repair the damaged tissue.

Achilles tendinopathy can be categorised into two types: insertional and non-insertional.
