Achilles Tendonitis Treatment

ACHILLES TENDONITIS TREATMENT

Achilles tendonitis treatment does not usually need much professional intervention. Achilles tendonitis treatment begins with:

• Stretching and strengthening the Achilles tendon
• Wearing a compression leg sleeve
• Taking over-the-counter-pain medication

Doctors providing Achilles tendonitis treatment will usually recommend:

• Pain Killers – Generally ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) will ease mild pain.
• Physical Therapy – Stretches and exercises to lengthening and strengthening the Achilles tendon. Helps reduce current pain and prevent future pain.
• Orthopedic Supports – Heel-elevating insoles or other orthopedic devices can reduce the strain on the Achilles tendon, helping ease the inflammation and pain.

PLEASE NOTE: While some or all of these options may be effective in temporarily easing the pain of plantar fasciitis, they can also be difficult, costly, or uncomfortable.
