Achilles Tendon Treatment | Foot and Ankle Specialists
Resting the foot or ankle as much as possible can ease tendonitis pain, as can icing the area. Apply ice three or four times a day for up to 15 minutes at a time.
If your pain is persistent and rest and icing don’t help, it’s time to visit a podiatrist. Left untreated, tendonitis may become chronic and more difficult to treat.
To treat Achilles tendonitis, we will first focus on relieving your pain. Immobilization with a soft cast can help with healing which may take a few weeks. We may prescribe oral medication to help with pain and swelling.
Custom-fitted orthotics can help control the motion of your feet to reduce your chances of recurring tendonitis. Stretches and strengthening exercises can help improve elasticity and strengthen nearby muscles.
