Achilles tendonitis affects the thick tendon linking your calf muscles to your heel, enabling you to walk, run, and jump. Overuse, tight muscles, or sudden strain can inflame the tendon, triggering stiffness, pain, and even micro-tears. At Brace Direct, we offer specialized braces, boots, and night splints to relieve tension on the Achilles and speed up recovery.
Achilles tendonitis can develop gradually from repetitive strain or appear acutely with a sharp pull. Contributing factors include:
Symptoms often include heel pain, morning stiffness, swelling along the tendon, and discomfort that intensifies with activity.
