Achilles Tendinopathy
What is Achilles Tendon Pain?
Achilles tendon pain is often caused by a degenerative process called tendinopathy. Achiiles tendinopathy is a very common cause of heel pain which affects the back of the heel, usually around 5cm from the attachment site of the achilles tendon to the heel bone. It can be considered a similar condition to plantar fasciitis in terms of disease process, causes, and the patient types it most commonly affects. It is an overuse injury where the achilles tendon becomes strained due to levels of stress that exceed how much the tendon can tolerate.
