Achilles Tendinitis

Achilles Tendinitis is a condition wherein the Achilles Tendon, at or near its insertion to the posterior aspect of the calcaneus, becomes inflamed with Tendinitis and causes pain. The Achilles Tendon is one of the longest and strongest tendons in the body. It is a vascular and therefore slow to heal. The Achilles tendon is formed in the lower third of the posterior aspect of the tibia. Two muscles join to form the Achilles tendon: The Gastro cnemius, which originates on the posterior aspect of the femur, and the Soleus, which originates on the posterior aspect of the upper third of the tibia. The Achilles tendon is an anti-pronator. Achilles Tendinitis is difficult to cure.

From basketball games to tennis matches to track and field events, athletes depend on the ability of the ankle to control balance, vertical propulsion, and forward and lateral movement. Not surprisingly, ankle injuries are the most frequent sport-related injuries, accounting for an estimated 30% of all such injuries. They represent as high as 45% of all injuries in men's basketball, and 38% of injuries for women. Achilles Tendinitis leads that list.

Where is the Achilles Tendon? What is Achilles Tendinitis (Tendonitis Tendenitis)?

The Achilles Tendon is the large tendon at the back of the foot. It connects the heal bone (calcaneus) to the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus.) You can suffer from short term pain (Acute) or long term disability pain (Chronic.) Seeking professional help will reduce your chances of Chronic Achilles Tendinitis (Tendinitis). Goode Wraps Ankle Wrap is excellent to reduce pain and inflammation of your Achilles Tendon, as you work with your Physical Therapist, Orthopedic Surgeon, Sports Injury Specialist, Oriental Medicine Doctor (Acupuncturist) or Chiropractor. Check Goode Wraps Research section to discover our Major University studies to reduce Pain, Inflammation and to relax muscles to accelerate recovery of your Achilles Tendon during rehabilitation.

The Heal Bone (Calcaneus) can form a Heel Spur. Slipping down steps can cause Acute Achilles Tendinitis. Swelling and inflammation will produce acute pain that prevents you from lowering your heel. Walking on the balls of your feet feels better but can worsen the injury and should be done carefully, lowering the foot slowly. Goode Wraps Ankle Wrap is very helpful during your therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. See our testimonials for our products to accelerate recovery for your Achilles Tendinitis.

. Overpronation -- your feet rolling inward can place increased strain on the Achilles Tendon. As the foot flattens, the lower leg rotates inwards, twisting the Achilles Tendon, stressing and twisting along its length.

. Shoes with little arch support (don’t wear sandals, flip-flops or heeless shoes)

. Jobs where you do a lot of walking on hard surfaces causes Achilles Tendinitis (Tendenitis)

. Switching from high heels to running shoes without stretching exercises before running can cause Achilles Tendinitis.

. Running upstairs or uphill, puts stress on the Achilles tendon (tendenitis) and fatigue sets in.

There are several types of overuse injuries that may develop in the Achilles tendon this region as a result of the repeated pounding from running. Achilles Tendinitis or a pulled achilles tendon have a common mechanism of development. Understanding the circumstances that lead to these injuries is the key to preventing them.

Excess training is the overall recurring theme that leads to overuse running injuries with inadequate recovery. Excess and inadequate must be judged against one’s usual training routine. The more that excess and inadequate deviate from the usual training routine the less time it takes for an overuse injury to develop. Keeping this theme in mind one can now examine the specifics for how achilles tendinitis develop.

The mechanics of running shows a foot-strike, then a loading/energy transfer phase, and finally a push off with the forefoot. Each foot delivers a shockwave that travels up the leg. This energy must be absorbed by the musculoskeletal system. The harder the running surface the greater the shockwave. Soft grass, smooth dirt, asphalt, and concrete represent, in order of increasing “hardness”, the usual spectrum of commonly encountered running surfaces. Concrete is very hard on the body and training on this surface should be avoided.

Distance running shoes are specifically designed to provide padding and support for the biomechanics of endurance running. They help absorb shock and facilitate efficient energy (motion) transfer. Matching the type of running shoe to the athlete’s specific biomechanics, and proper shoe fit are important. Similarly, worn out shoes should be replaced early because of reduced shock absorbing capacity. Runners with high rigid arches tend to experience greater pounding shock, whereas those with flat feet tend to experience greater fatigue of the muscles that support the foot -- and push-off. Both tend to develop achilles tendinitis.

Symptoms Achilles tendinitis include pain along the tendon usually just above the heel, swelling at the Achilles tendon, pain at the beginning of a run which may get longer in duration or become intense enough to inhibit running altogether as the problem progresses. pain with going up stairs,

•Stretching - keeping the muscles and tendons flexible reduces the tension on the tendon

•Monitor footwear - replace shoes as they wear down, make sure they give good support. Running shoes that have a broad base may be better because they offer more stability

•Be aware of the extrinsic factors - be sure to increase your training gradually. Don't do too much too soon. Or, buy a Goode Wrap to relax the muscles and tendons to relieve the Achilles Tendinitis.
