Achilles Tendinitis Treatment in Orangeville

Achilles tendinitis is a common cause of pain at the back of the heel, often related to overuse, strain, or biomechanical factors. Symptoms may include stiffness, tenderness, swelling, and pain with walking or activity.

Assessment is based primarily on a clinical examination. Ultrasound or MRI imaging may be arranged when needed, while X-rays are not typically helpful for assessing tendon injury.

Treatment focuses on reducing strain and inflammation and may include cold laser therapy, heel lifts, orthotics, footwear modification, taping, and padding. Care is individualized based on symptoms, activity level, and contributing factors.
