Achilles Tear/Rupture

What is it?

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.

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.

When does it hurt?

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.

The Bracing Experts Advice:

Braces involving a combination of heel-lifts and compression are used to reduce stress placed on the Achilles tendon.

Recommended by The Bracing Experts

AchilloTrain Ankle Brace

The AchilloTrain Ankle Brace is a highly effective solution for individuals who suffer from Achilles Tear/Rupture and Achilles Tendonitis.

This ankle brace provides pain relief and support for the Achilles tendon without restricting mobility. The anatomically contoured insert (pad) produces a massage effect, stimulating the surrounding tissue and promoting circulation.

The AchilloTrain Ankle Brace features pressure-reduced edges that ensure a comfortable fit without constricting movement, bunching, or slipping. The three-dimensional Train active knit provides a perfect fit, and the stretchy knit material is breathable and comfortable, making it machine-washable in the gentle cycle.

The AchilloTrain Ankle Brace has a three-fold therapeutic effect, alleviating pain and activating the musculature, while the massage effect stimulates the metabolism and helps to reduce edemas. The integral visco-elastic wedge further relieves the Achilles tendon, promoting overall good health for the foot.

The AchilloTrain Ankle Brace is suitable for individuals who suffer from Achillodynia (paratendinitis, tendinitis, Achilles bursitis, e.g., in Haglund's deformity) and follow-up treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures. It is available in various sizes to accommodate different foot sizes and is easy to put on and take off, thanks to its high elasticity.

If you're looking for an effective solution to manage your Achilles Tear/Rupture or Achilles Tendonitis, the AchilloTrain Ankle Brace is an excellent choice. Care instructions are provided, and it is recommended to wash the brace regularly to maintain its compression and effectiveness.

Ankle Sprains

Ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that connect bone to bone. An injury to the ligaments that connect the bones of the leg to bones of the foot is an ankle sprain.

Broken Ankle (Fracture)

A crack, break or chip in one of three bones in the ankle. If multiple bones are broken, stability will be lost with the inability to walk

5th Metatarsal Fracture

The foot consists of five metatarsal bones that span the arch of the foot. A fracture is a crack, break or chip to a metatarsal bone, typically on the 5th metatarsal, located on the outside of the foot that connects to the little toe.

Achilles Tendonitis

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in your body and is responsible for connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Micro-tears in the tendon, called tendonitis, can result in stiffness, tenderness and pain.

Heel Spurs

Commonly seen as a result of plantar fasciitis, a heel spur is a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel caused by a build up of calcium. Protrusion often causes a dull ache or sharp “pinprick” pain.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia spans the length of the foot, attaching to the heel bone and metatarsals (toes). When the plantar fascia is strained it can cause swelling irritation and varied degrees of pain in the bottom of the foot.

Fallen Arches

The arch of the foot is formed by tarsal and metatarsal bones that allow the foot to support the weight of the body. Fallen arches is a condition in which the arches of the foot collapse, coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

Flat Feet

The arch of the foot is formed by tarsal and metatarsal bones that allow the foot to support the weight of the body. Flat feet is a condition in which the foot has an arch that is lower than usual.
