Your Achilles tendon—the largest tendon in your body—connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. When this tendon becomes inflamed or irritated (often due to overuse, tight calves, or poor footwear), it can lead to Achilles tendonitis, a painful and often persistent condition.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain or stiffness in the back of the heel, especially in the morning
- Tenderness or swelling around the tendon
- Pain that increases with activity or after long periods of rest
- A “pulling” or tight sensation when pointing the foot or walking uphill
Left untreated, Achilles tendonitis can lead to chronic degeneration or even tendon rupture. Most conventional treatments recommend rest, orthotics, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections—which may not always address the root cause of the issue.
That’s where SoftWave Therapy can be a game-changer.
