Achille tendonitis

One of heel pains.

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in your body, connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone. When this tendon becomes irritated or inflamed, it results in Achilles tendonitis—a common cause of heel and lower leg pain.

What causes Achilles tendonitis?
It often develops from repetitive strain, sudden increases in physical activity, poor footwear, or tight calf muscles. Runners, active individuals, and people who spend long hours on their feet are particularly at risk.

What are the symptoms?
Typical signs include pain and stiffness at the back of the heel, especially in the morning or after activity. You might also notice swelling or tenderness along the tendon.

Why is early treatment important?
Ignoring symptoms can lead to chronic pain or even tendon rupture, which requires surgery. The good news? Most cases can be managed with conservative treatment.

If you’re experiencing persistent heel or calf pain, don’t wait. Your feet support you every step—let us help keep them healthy.
