What is and how does Achilles tendency manifest?

Excessive exercise or walking are frequent causes of Achilles tendency, especially in the case of athletes. However, non-exercise factors may also contribute to the risk of developing this condition. and infections are closely related to the occurrence of the Achilles tendency. Any repetitive activity that calls for Achilles tendon can cause tendonitis. Causes include: • Exercising without good healing • Tensioning the calf muscles during exercises or repetitive physical exercise • Practicing certain sports such as tennis that require stops and shifts • Sudden increase in physical activity without . Your doctor may ask you to lift your fingertips to analyze your ability to move and.

It will also hit the affected area to be able to accurately detect the area where the pain is the most acute. Imaging tests can help confirm the Achilles tendency, but they are usually needed. The tests include: • X-rays that provide images of legs and foot paws • MRI scans that can detect ruptures and tissue damage • Ultrasounds that may present tendon lesions and related lesions and inflammations Many treatments are available for Achilles tendonitis, . Your doctor may recommend: • • Carefully stretching the calf muscles followed by their gradual hardening • Switching to another less intense sport • Applying ice on the affected area after exercise or when it is painful • Keeping your foot in a high position . This method is usually effective in treating Achile's tendon immediately after the disease occurs and works like this: • Rest: Do not put pressure or weight on your tendon for one or two days until you can go on the tendon without pain.

The tendon tends to heal usually faster if no extra tension is put on it during this time. Your doctor may suggest using caries if you need to move over longer distances during this period. • Ice: put the ice in a bag, wrap the bag in the cloth and put the ice pack wrapped on the skin. Hold the tendon for 15-20 minutes, then let the tendon re-incase itself. Ice causes swelling and swelling to fall faster.

• Compresses: wrap the bandage or compress around the tendon to tighten the affected area. In their absence, you can use any clothing item. This prevents excessive tendon swelling. Take care not to wrap or tie anything too tight around the tendon as this may limit blood flow. • Suspension: Raise the leg above the chest level.

Because the foot is above the heart, the blood returns to the heart and prevents the swelling of the affected area. The easiest way to keep your foot on top of your heart is to sit down and place it on some pillows or a high waist. Surgery If this treatment is not effective, surgery may be required to repair Achilles tendon. If the condition worsens and is left untreated, there is a greater risk that will require surgery. This can cause intense pain in the heel area.

Your doctor may recommend some options for a tendon rupture surgery, depending on how severe the rupture is and if you have been affected by a rupture before. Your doctor will usually guide you to an orthopedic surgeon to decide which procedure is best suited to your case. One of the methods involves an open repair. In this surgery, a surgeon makes an incision to open your leg over the heel bone, then sew the two sides of the broken tendon and close the incision. In another method, a surgeon makes an incision to open the area from the rupture site, then passes the needles with sutures through the tendon and skin, turning through the incision, finally binding the sutures together.

Recovery and care Tendinitis usually disappears after a few days after rest and proper home treatment (including the RICE method). Recovery takes much longer if you continue to exert pressure on the tendon or change your exercise habits to prevent further injuries or tears. Long-term tendency may cause more serious problems including (tendon penetrates the heel bone) and tendinosis (tendon weakness). Tendon rupture or chronic tendonitis may require long-term treatment or surgery. Recovery after surgery can last from a few weeks to several months.

Following a doctor's recommended treatment is the safest way to a faster recovery. To reduce the risk of Achilles tendinitis, it is recommended to: • stretch the calf muscles each morning to improve your flexibility and to make Achilles tendon less prone to injury. Try to stretch before and after training. To stretch Achilles tendon, stand with your right legs and lean forward, keeping your elbows on the ground. • Start exercises with light activities, gradually increasing intensity.

• Combine high and low impact exercises, such as swimming pool, to reduce stress on tendons. • Choose shoes with a suitable sole and support. Also, make sure the heel is slightly raised to reduce the tendon tension at Achilles. If you have been wearing a pair of shoes for a long time, it is recommended that you replace or use arches. • Gradually reduce the size of the shoe heels when moving from high heels to heelless shoes.
