conditions - what we treat

What we
treat

We treat two types of Achilles tendonitis: insertional Achilles tendinitis and non-insertional Achilles tendonitis. Many treatments are available for Achilles tendonitis, ranging from home remedies, like rest and anti-inflammatory medication, to more invasive treatments, like steroid injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and surgery.

What to expect...

Tendonitis usually goes away after a few days, following rest and proper home treatment (including the RICE method). Recovery takes much longer if you continue to put pressure on the tendon or don’t change your exercise habits to prevent another injury or rupture. Long-term tendonitis can cause worse issues, including insertional tendonitis (tendon inserting itself into the heel bone) and tendinosis (weakening of the tendon).

A tendon rupture or chronic tendonitis may require long-term treatment or surgery. Seeking treatment for your tendonitis or ruptured tendon immediately and following your doctor’s instructions is more likely to result in a quicker recovery.
