Injuries to the Achilles Tendon By Dr. Brian Abelson DC. Calgary, Alberta, Canada In this article… Injuries to the Achilles Tendon About the Achilles Tendon Causes of Achilles Tendon Injuries Always Consider the Kinetic Chain ... Finding an ART Practitioner Athletes suffer from three common types of injury to the Achilles Tendon: Paratenonitis – usually referred to as Achilles Tendonitis. Tendinosis. – This is usually a non tender palpable nodule or cord at the Achilles tendon. Rupture of the Tendon (either partial or complete). Paratenonitis: Is an inflammation of the Paratenon - a sheath surrounding the Achilles tendon. Paratenonitis is often caused by repetitive strain or over-use. This injury is common in triathletes. Tendinosis: Refers to degeneration within the tendon due to a previous tear. This condition can be felt as a palpable tendon nodule very close to the heel. The nodule is formed by the accumulation of scar tissue. Circulation to the Achilles tendon is very poor, especially near the heel, resulting in poor oxygen supply. This results in poor healing and formation of microscopic tears, causing the tendon to thicken.

Achilles Tendonitis is a painful inflammation of the large tendon just above the heel. Lack of flexibility in the calf muscles can cause this condition. A conditioning and stretching program as well as sport orthotic devices can help prevent this injury. If there's tenderness above the heel and difficulty in running, seek proper medical attention.

Achilles Tendon Disorders Topics discussed on this web page: Achilles Tendonitis, Achilles Tendonosis, Achilles Tendon Ruptures What is the Achilles Tendon? The Achilles Tendon is the large tendon running from the calf muscles (the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles) located in the back of the leg to the back of the heel. This muscle and tendon combination is responsible for allowing your foot to push off the ground when you're walking, running, and jumping. Because it's used so much in gait, the tendon can become inflamed. At this point we would name the problem "Achilles Tendonitis", because adding the suffix -itis to the end of a word means that tissue is inflamed. What activities causes Achilles Tendon Pain? Sometimes Achilles Tendonitis is a result of sudden trauma , as you might encounter from playing sports, but you can also have Achilles tendon pain as a result of small, unnoticed, day-to-day irritations that inflame the tendon over time by a cumulative effect. In those with no history of trauma, Achilles Tendonitis is sometimes associated simply with long periods of standing. There are several factors that can cause the gradual development of Achilles Tendonitis.

ACHILLES TENDINITIS The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the body. It is a tendinous structure (attaches muscle to bone) that forms from a combination of the gastrocnemius-soleus muscles located in the calf. The tendon attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus) and causes the foot to push off (plantar flex) when the calf muscles tighten. The tendon is necessary for normal walking, running, and jumping. Athletic and traumatic injuries to the Achilles tendon are common and can be disabling. WHAT IS ACHILLES TENDINITIS Achilles tendinitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the tendon, which usually occurs as a result of overuse injury. Basketball players are the most susceptible to Achilles tendinitis because of the frequent jumping. Any activity requiring a constant pushing off the foot, such as running or dancing, may result in swelling of the tendon. SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT FOR ACHILLES TENDINITIS People with Achilles tendinitis may experience pain during and after exercising. Running and jumping activities become painful and difficult. Symptoms include stiffness and pain in the back of the ankle when pushing off the ball of the foot. For patients with chronic tendinitis (longer than six weeks), x-rays may reveal calcification (hardening of the tissue) in the tendon. Chronic tendinitis can result in a breakdown of the tendon, or tendinosis, which weakens the tendon and may cause a rupture. The recommended treatment for Achilles tendinitis consists of icing, gentle stretching, and modifying or limiting activity. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or aspirin, can reduce pain and swelling.

66. Orthotics                                    What are orthotics? Orthotics, which are often used in the treatmentof biomechanical disorders, are custom molded inserts for shoes http://www.seafordfootcare.com/orthotics.html

What are orthotics? Orthotics, which are often used in the treatment of biomechanical disorders, are custom molded inserts for shoes that correct foot function and improve efficiency during gait. They are not only useful for the treatment of foot problems, but also can be used for the treatment of ankle, knee, hip, and lower back complaints when these disorders have their origin with abnormal foot function and gait. Why do I need orthotics? Everyone's foot structure is different. Just as each individual's eyesight, personality, and medical problems are unique to that person, so is the foot structure unique. The foot is composed of 26 bones, 107 ligaments, numerous tendons, and 19 muscles originating in the leg and the foot. The way these bones, muscles, and tendons work together determines the balance and alignment of the foot. This, together with your weight, the type of work you do, the amount of time you are on your feet, and the type of surface you stand on all day, not to mention the type of shoes you wear, also contributes to the delicate balance and alignment of your feet. A perfectly balanced and aligned foot is extremely rare. Practically all foot problems are directly or indirectly related to foot malalignments. If you are experiencing any foot pains, deformities, fatigue, cramps, etc., you probably have an imbalance in your feet. Orthotics are designed to correct or rebalance that abnormality. Just as glasses or contact lenses help to correct your eyesight, orthotics help re-balance your foot structure to reduce abnormal stresses or abnormal areas of weight bearing in your feet that lead to discomfort and that can cause more serious problems as time passes.

'); document.writeln(' Click Here! MENU Home Programs Who Are We? Articles ... Past Newsletters Dealing With Achilles Tendonitis General advice all the time: Do some type of a warm up before you stretch. This could be in the form of a slow jog as you start your run and continuing during the beginning of a run. Include stretching after your run as part of your cooldown. If you have a sports injury, rest the area to allow it time to heal. This might be a good time to concentrate on some cross training. The Achilles Tendon The Achilles tendon is the connection between the heel and three muscles: the two heads of the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The gastrocnemius is a muscle that crosses three joints: the knee, the ankle, and the subtalar joint. A tight hamstring can affect the functioning of the ankle and subtalar joint, and it can increase tension in the achilles tendon. The soleus muscle does not cross the knee. Contributing Factors to Achilles Tendonitis There are several factors that can contribute to achilles tendonitis: Ignoring the pain and running through the pain of early achilles tendonitis. If an achilles tendon is sore, pay attention to it immediately.

SEARCH: The Web Yellow Pages HOME AJC.COM Illustrated Health Encyclopedia Important notice Ency. home Disease A Achilles tendonitis Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Alternative names: Tendonitis of the heel Definition: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the muscles of the calf to the heel). Causes and Risks There are two large muscles in the calf, the gastrocnemius and soleus, that generate the power for pushing off with the foot or going up on the toes. The large Achilles tendon connects these muscles to the heel. These are important muscles for walking. This tendon can become inflamed, most commonly with overuse or arthritis, although inflammation can also be associated with trauma and infection. Tendonitis secondary to overuse is most common in younger individuals and can occur in walkers, runners or other athletes, especially in sports involving jumping like basketball. Jumping places a large amount of stress on the Achilles tendon. Tendonitis from arthritis is more common in the middle aged and elderly population. Arthritis often causes extra bony growths around joints, and if this occurs around the heel where the Achilles tendon inserts on the heel bone, then the tendon can become inflamed and painful.

Achilles Tendonitis/Calf Injuries This condition is the tightening and swelling of the Achilles tendon within the sheath that surrounds it. This inflammation makes the contraction and relaxation of the calf muscle very difficult. Due to the accumulation of waste products in the calf muscles and the resultant shortening of certain fibers within these muscles, the Achilles tendon is tightened similar to a violin wire, and the likelihood of a more serious injury, like a ruptured Achilles, increases. Treatment consists of: Reduce activity during the acute phase - look to cross train. Ice injury multiple times per day (place foot/ankle in bucket of ice water). Use The Stick on involved calf muscles multiple times per day and gently begin stretching, both straight leg and bent knee ( Maggs Muscle Management Program TM If available, apply ultra-sound treatment.

Achilles tendonitis is caused by inflammation and degeneration of the achilles tendon, the large tendon located in the back of the leg and inserted into the heel. This tendon can be aggravated by activities that repeatedly stress the area, such as running, jumping or other pounding sports, or can be injured by a single traumatic event, according to Foot.com experts. Achilles tendonitis also can be caused by not stretching regularly before exercise or by wearing high heels that cause the tendon to shrink and become more vulnerable to injury. In some cases a heel bone deformity or even long periods of standing can cause symptoms. The pain sometimes lessens during activity.

This can happen during a strong contraction of the muscle, as when running or sprinting. Landing on the ground after a jump can force the foot upward, also causing injury. The strain can affect different portions of the muscles or tendon. For instance, the strain may occur in the belly of the muscle. Or it may happen where the muscles join the achilles tendon (called the musculotendinous junction). Chronic overuse may contribute to changes in the achilles tendon as well, leading to degeneration and thickening of the tendon.

Come in or call us. Achilles Tendonitis Definition Achilles Tendonitis causes inflammation and degeneration of the achilles tendon. The achilles tendon is the large tendon located in the back of the leg that inserts into the heel. The pain caused by achilles tendonitis can develop gradually without a history of trauma. The pain can be a shooting pain, burning pain, or even an extremely piercing pain. Achilles tendonitis should not be left untreated due to the danger that the tendon can become weak and ruptured. Achilles Tendonitis is aggravated by activities that repeatedly stress the tendon, causing inflammation. In some cases even prolonged periods of standing can cause symptoms. It is a common problem often experienced by athletes, particularly distance runners. Achilles Tendonitis is a difficult injury to treat in athletes due to their high level of activity and reluctance to stop or slow down their training. Individuals who suffer from achilles tendonitis often complain that their first steps out of bed in the morning are extremely painful. Another common complaint is pain after steps are taken after long periods of sitting. This pain often lessens with activity.

Meridian Family Foot Oklahoma City Achilles Tendonitis What Is Achilles Tendonitis? Achilles tendonitis is inflammation and/or injury to the most powerful tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon. This painful condition involves the attachment of the Achilles tendon just above where the back of the heel of your shoe hits your heel bone. What Causes Achilles Tendonitis? Achilles tendonitis is usually caused by excessive physical activity such as encountered in sports, or by repetitive trauma such as encountered in certain types of jobs requiring the use of the foot. Sometimes, weakening and inflammation of the tendon happens for no apparent reason or it can be related to some types of arthritis. Physical activity to which one is not accustom is the most frequent cause of Achilles tendonitis. How Is Achilles Tendonitis Treated? Mild cases only need rest, ice, Tylenol, Advil, or Ecotrin. It is important not to go barefoot or wear shoes with no, or a low heel, because this further stresses the injured tendon. An extra heel lift in the shoe is very helpful to relieve the excessive pull of the Achilles tendon. More severe cases require immobilization in a cast or splint, and orthotics. This is one area of the foot that should never have a cortisone shot. This tends to weaken the attachment of the Achilles tendon, which could cause it to rupture. Persistent cases require surgery to remove inflamed tissue.
