Find relief from your symptoms
At Jakupi Podiatry, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Achilles pain and injuries.
The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Despite its strength, the Achilles tendon is susceptible to injury and pain, which can significantly impact your ability to walk, run, and engage in daily activities. If you’re experiencing Achilles pain or discomfort, our experienced podiatrists are here to help you find relief and get back to doing the things you love.
Common Causes of Achilles Pain
Achilles pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Overuse: Repetitive stress or strain on the Achilles tendon, often from activities such as running, jumping, or sudden changes in intensity or duration of exercise.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, known as Achilles tendonitis, can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the back of the heel or lower calf.
- Tendonosis: Chronic degeneration of the Achilles tendon, known as Achilles tendonosis, can result in persistent pain, weakness, and swelling in the affected area.
- Tendon rupture: In severe cases, the Achilles tendon may partially or completely tear, resulting in sudden, sharp pain and difficulty walking.
