Achilles tendonitis

[Guest guest]

Dear Jane,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation and

degeneration of the achilles tendon. The achilles

tendon is the large tendon located in the back of the

leg that inserts into the heel. The pain caused by

achilles tendonitis can develop gradually without a

history of trauma. The pain can be a shooting pain,

burning pain, or even an extremely piercing pain.

Achilles tendonitis should not be left untreated due

to the danger that the tendon can become weak and

ruptured.

 

Achilles Tendonitis is aggravated by activities that

repeatedly stress the tendon, causing inflammation. In

some cases even prolonged periods of standing can

cause symptoms. It is a common problem often

experienced by athletes, particularly distance

runners. Achilles Tendonitis is a difficult injury to

treat in athletes due to their high level of activity

and reluctance to stop or slow down their training.

 

Individuals who suffer from achilles tendonitis often

complain that their first steps out of bed in the

morning are extremely painful. Another common

complaint is pain after steps are taken after long

periods of sitting. This pain often lessens with

activity.

 

Cause

There are several factors that can cause achilles

tendonitis. The most common cause is over-pronation.

Over-pronation occurs in the walking process, when the

arch collapses upon weight bearing, adding stress on

the achilles tendon.

 

Other factors that lead to achilles tendonitis are

improper shoe selection, inadequate stretching prior

to engaging in athletics, a short achilles tendon,

direct trauma (injury) to the tendon, and heel bone

deformity.

 

Treatment and Prevention

Athletes, particularly runners, should incorporate a

thorough stretching program to properly warm-up the

muscles. They should decrease the distance of their

walk or run, apply ice after the activity and avoid

any uphill climbs. Athletes should use an orthotic

device, heel cup, or heel cradle for extra support.

 

A heel cup or heel cradle elevates the heel to reduce

stress and pressure on the achilles tendon. The device

should be made with light-weight, shock absorbing

materials. An orthotic device can be used to control

over-pronation, support the longitudinal arch, and

reduce stress on the achilles tendon.
