Achilles Tendonitis is a painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon that may immobilize the patient. The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body that provides the ability to place weight on the toes and push off of the ground to walk. Located in the back or your lower leg, it connects the muscles to your heel bone.
Achilles Tendonitis is caused by overstressing the tendon. Extreme changes in activity level, running on poor surfaces, wearing improper shoes, infrequent exercise, and lack of stretching before hard exercise or activity are some causes of Achilles Tendonitis.
Some of the best prevention is to stretch the tendon. Stretching can prevent the shortening of the Achilles tendon and allow it to have more tolerance to physical activities. Please remember that conditioning such as stretching and steady increases in exercise before extreme physical activity is healthy for the body. We offer a variety of Achilles tendonitis ankle braces, such as ankle strap braces, magnetic ankle braces, and splint ankle braces to treat Achilles tendonitis. We also carry ankle heat packs, ankle ice packs, and ankle pain relief gels with which to combat the pain of Achilles tendonitis.
