Achilles Tendonitis

What is Achilles tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It often results from overuse or repetitive strain, leading to pain and stiffness in the back of the heel. Managing Achilles tendonitis involves wearing supportive footwear that provides cushioning and stability to reduce strain on the tendon.
