I cannot say thank you enough to the amazing staff at Therapydia. Jay is the body whisperer! He determined the source of my pain within minutes and gave me some very simple stretches that have helped immensely. And his team was incredibly helpful with checking my insurance, setting up my appointment and answering my questions. Great experience all around; I will definitely be recommending this office to my friends.

What a fantastic experience! After many years of a recurring problem, Emily and colleagues openly listened to my concerned and attacked my problem from many angles. I am on the mend and have a renewed sense of optimism.

Achilles Tendon Pain Relief

The Achilles tendon is the band of tissue that connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. Achilles tendinitis occurs due to overuse and is common within in people who run or play sports and is a very common achilles tendon injury. The achilles tendon weakens with age and it can be exacerbated with increased activity levels that places stress on the achilles leading to inflammation or small tears.

Although most cases of achilles tendinitis can be treated with just physical therapy, more serious cases of achilles tendinitis can lead to tendon tears/ruptures and surgery may be needed. If you have a grade 3 injury or a complete rupture, surgery may be necessary because you will have lost your ability to bear weight.
