Chesapeake Foot & Ankle Institute Announces New Report on Achilles Tendinitis
Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2025/03/1741050325.jpgThe Chesapeake Foot & Ankle Institute [https://chesapeakefai.com/] is proud to announce the release of a comprehensive report addressing the common but often misunderstood condition of Achilles tendinitis. This new report aims to provide individuals with essential insights into the Achilles tendon, how injuries occur, and how those suffering from the condition can find relief.
The Achilles tendon, located at the back of the lower leg and connecting the calf muscles to the heel, is the strongest tendon in the human body. It plays a crucial role in enabling movements such as walking, running, and jumping.
Unfortunately, because of its heavy use and vulnerability, it is prone to injury. One such injury is Achilles tendonitis, which occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed due to overuse, strain, or lack of proper care.
According to the Institute's report, Achilles tendonitis is often caused by physical activity, especially when done without proper stretching or if an individual transitions too quickly from a sedentary to an active lifestyle. People who lead active lifestyles, particularly those who enjoy sports like running or basketball, are more susceptible to this condition.
Risk factors include age, gender (men are more prone), wearing worn-out shoes, and specific medical conditions such as high blood pressure or psoriasis.
Recognizing the Signs of Achilles Tendonitis
The report also highlights the key symptoms of Achilles tendonitis. These include heel pain, tenderness or stiffness at the back of the calf and heel, swelling, and more frequent pain after physical activity. Depending on the severity, the condition can range from mild to severe. In extreme cases, Achilles tendonitis can lead to tendon tears or ruptures, which may require surgical intervention.
According to clinic lead Dr. Shruti A. Patel, MS, DPM, AACFAS, a simple physical examination by a podiatrist is usually sufficient to diagnose the condition.
"One of the techniques we use," says Dr. Patel, "is to press against the back of your calf to locate the pain and swelling. We'll test your reflexes, as well as your range of motion and flexibility. In some cases, we may need to order imaging, but most of the time this isn't needed."
Podiatrist's Approach to Treatment
The report emphasizes that a podiatrist's guidance is essential for those experiencing Achilles tendonitis. For mild cases, podiatrists often recommend the R.I.C.E method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) to relieve pain and inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be used to manage discomfort.
In more severe cases, where conservative treatments are insufficient, surgical options may be considered. These can include tendon repair or, in extreme situations, tendon replacement using a graft from another part of the foot. Regardless of the treatment approach, podiatrists at the Chesapeake Foot & Ankle Institute ensure patients receive a personalized care plan tailored to their individual needs.
Prevention Tips for Achilles Tendonitis
While treatment is essential, prevention plays a vital role in reducing the risk of future injuries. The report encourages individuals to gradually increase physical activity, wear shoes that offer adequate arch support, stretch and strengthen calf muscles, and incorporate cross-training into their exercise routines.
