Symptoms of
Achilles Tendonitis:
The
Achilles Tendon is a large tendon which is attached to the
heel bone. The Achilles Tendon plays a vital role to our
ability to walk and run. Symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis can
include irritation, inflammation, and pain near the back of
the heel and ankle. Many people who suffer from Achilles
Tendonitis pain find that it is greatest after long periods
of inactivity especially in the morning after sleeping or
after sitting for a long time. Excessive pain and
swelling of the Achilles Tendon could be a more serious
condition called Achilles Tendinosis. Achilles Tendinosis
pain results from a degenerative condition in which there
are microscopic tears within the Achilles Tendon.
What Causes
Achilles Tendonitis?
Achilles
Tendonitis inflammation can be caused by a number of factors
including overuse, shock from hard surfaces, lack of
flexibility, pronation, footwear changes, or aging. As we
age our tendons can become less flexible and more injury
prone and susceptible to Achilles tendonitis.
Common Achilles
Tendonitis Treatments:
Achilles
Tendonitis can heal slowly and how long it takes to heal can
depend on a number of factors. Treatments of Achilles
Tendonitis can include: rest of the affected tendon,
stretching, sports massage, cold therapy, medications,
cortisone injections, surgery, and protective footwear like
shoe insoles. How Can Foot Relief
Shoe Insoles Help Relieve Pain from Achilles Tendonitis?
Foot
Relief Insoles contain a liquid called glycerin that forms
to your foot and gives you a layer of shock absorption and
protection that does not compress like traditional insoles.
Foot Relief Insoles have helped reduce heel pain for many of
our customers by dispersing much of the shock into the
liquid before it can reach your Achilles Tendon. Foot
Relief Insoles have been used by customers to help
relieve pain caused by other conditions too including
plantar fasciitis and
heel spurs. Click on the
