Achilles Pain can be caused by a number of reasons. The most common reason is overuse or injury to the Achilles tendon. This can happen from playing sports, overtraining, or suddenly increasing the intensity of your workout routine. Other causes of Achilles Pain include arthritis, tendinitis, and bursitis. When treating Achilles Pain we always start with a conservative approach. This may include:

* Rest

* Ice

* Anti-inflammatory medication

If the pain does not improve with conservative measures, we may recommend other treatment options such as:

* Physical therapy

* Orthotics or bracing

* Steroid injections

In some cases, corrective surgery is needed but always a last option. If you’re experiencing Achilles Pain, contact our office today to schedule an appointment. We will help you find the best treatment option for your individual needs.
