Achilles Tendon Injuries
Comprehensive Achilles Injury Care
Expert Treatment for Achilles Pain, Tears, and Recovery
The Achilles tendon plays a vital role in movement—connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone and powering every step, jump, and stride. When injured, even simple activities like walking can become painful. Achilles injuries often result from overuse, sudden strain, or repetitive stress, and can range from mild inflammation (tendonitis) to partial or complete rupture. Symptoms may include stiffness, swelling, tenderness, or a sharp “pop” followed by severe pain.
At Next Step Foot & Ankle Centers, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating Achilles tendon injuries. Our experienced podiatrists perform detailed evaluations to determine the extent of damage and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Treatment Options May Include:
- Rest, ice, and stretching programs for mild cases
- Physical therapy and strengthening exercises to restore mobility
- Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling
- Custom orthotics, heel lifts, or supportive footwear to relieve strain
- Casting, splints, or walking boots for immobilization during healing
- Surgical repair for severe or ruptured tendons
Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore proper function, and help you return to your active lifestyle safely. Whether through conservative care or advanced surgical techniques, our team is dedicated to achieving long-term healing and preventing future injury.
