Achilles tendonitis refers to inflammation of your Achilles Tendon, which is a continuation of your calf muscle that then inserts on the back of your heel bone. Achilles tendonitis is usually either acute due to an increase in activity, or chronic, due to changes to your Achilles that have developed over time that result in chronic pain.
In our treatment approach we strive to first reduce the pain using a series of different methods depending on the patient and then utilize physical therapy methods to help you regain your strength and build your Achilles back stronger than ever.
