Achilles Tendinitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the Achilles tendon, the large tendon connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Commonly caused by overuse, improper footwear, or tight calf muscles, it results in pain and swelling above the heel. Symptoms include stiffness, tenderness and difficulty walking. Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI. Treatment often includes rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy to strengthen and stretch the calf muscles. Proper footwear and gradual return to activity are essential for preventing recurrence. In severe cases, a walking boot or brace may be recommended. Early intervention improves outcomes, and persistent symptoms may warrant orthopedic consultation for further management options.
