What It Is
Achilles tendinitis is irritation of the band of tissue connecting the calf to the heel. It often follows a change in activity and causes stiffness and pain at the back of the heel.
How We Treat It
Rest, stretching, heel lifts, supportive footwear, and physical therapy. When pain persists, we discuss bracing and other in-office options.
What to Expect
An exam to grade the irritation and a stepwise plan that protects the tendon while you stay as active as you can.
Insurance & Coverage
Covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance.
