Achilles tendonitis Treatment– What to do to heal this Injury.
Achilles Tendonitis is a debilitating condition that anyone devoted to various fitness activities such as Dancers, Cheerleaders, Gymnasts, Martial Artists and Joggers know all too well.
In short Achilles Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscle and the heel. When the calf contracts, the ankle joint plantar flexes. Standard medical treatments involve injections and anti-inflammatories. In sever cases surgery.
Most cases of Achilles Tendonitis are accumulative in nature. Just because you felt the pain today, does not mean that it started today. Most likely it took a while to build. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon and even bursa under it, is commonly a repetitive stress injury, that builds over time.
What’s the first thing you do, if you feel the pain? STOP. I would go as far to as to say, stop anywhere. If you are competing – stop. If you are in the middle of the class – stop.
