Achilles Tendon & Sports Tendon Injuries

Achilles pain can affect sprinting, jumping, stairs, and even normal walking. Whether symptoms came on suddenly (a sharp “pop” or sudden weakness) or gradually (tightness, morning stiffness, pain during training), we focus on accurate diagnosis and the right plan.

We commonly treat

• Achilles tendinopathy (tendon overload/degeneration)
• Partial tears and high-grade tendon injury patterns
• Insertional Achilles pain and heel-related tendon irritation
• Return-to-run and return-to-sport progression after injury

Options may include

• Load-management strategy and progressive strengthening
• Gait/mechanics assessment and therapy coordination
• Injections/biologic options in select scenarios
• Surgical consultation when tear patterns or persistent symptoms warrant it
