Our Calcaneal tendon, also to referred to as the Achilles tendon, is in the back of the leg connecting the calf muscle to the heel bone. This tendon is pivotal in all leg movement and balancing. The Achilles tendon can suffer from inflammation, degeneration, ruptures, and tendinitis.
The everyday use of the Achilles tendon leads to these types of degenerative effects. Even light exercise like running and jumping can trigger an injury. A support brace is necessary in most cases but sometimes surgery is required. Either way, it’s important that a medical professional like Dr. Gelia diagnose your issue. Putting off your injury will result in severe complications down the road.
