The Achilles tendon is the largest bone in your body and is responsible for connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. A complete or partly torn Achilles tendon can vary from a mild-to-severe burning pain and stiffness.
Caused by repetitive or intense strain to the Achilles tendon, commonly seen when individuals speed-up, slow-down or pivot too quickly. Tight muscles, fallen arches and prolonged use of high heels may also stress the tendon enough for a complete or partial tear.
Pain typically begins as a mild ache in the back of the leg or above the heel after running or other activity. WHY DO I HAVE IT? Caused by repetitive or intense strain to the Achilles tendon, commonly seen when individuals speed-up, slow-down or pivot too quickly. Tight muscles, fallen arches and prolonged use of high heels may also stress the tendon enough for a complete or partial tear.
Braces involving a combination of heel-lifts and compression are used to reduce stress placed on the Achilles tendon.
