Achilles Tendinitis

  • The achilles tendon connects the posterior leg muscles (calves) to the heel bone.

  • Achilles tendinitis is characterized by pain in the heel region due to injury to the achilles tendon.

  • Achilles tendinitis can be due to overuse and is a common sports injury.

  • In severe cases the tendon may tear and require surgery.
