What is Achilles Tendonitis?
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. It plays a vital role in walking, running, jumping, and standing on your toes.
Achilles tendonitis occurs when the tendon becomes irritated and inflamed, often due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or age-related degeneration. In some cases, symptoms can become chronic and fail to respond to traditional treatments.
Common symptoms include:
Pain at the back of the heel or lower calf
Stiffness, particularly in the morning
Tenderness along the tendon
Swelling around the Achilles tendon
Pain during or after physical activity
Difficulty walking, running, or exercising
