Achilles Tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition often occurs due to overuse, particularly in athletes who engage in running or jumping activities. Symptoms typically include pain and stiffness along the tendon, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity. Treatment for Achilles Tendonitis usually involves rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications. Physical therapy may also be recommended to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve flexibility. In severe cases, a doctor may suggest more advanced interventions, such as corticosteroid injections or surgery.
