Achilles tendon injuries are common heel complaints in both the recreational and professional athlete. Golf professional Tiger Woods has had a history of achilles tendonitis as well as a partial tear of his achilles in the past few years. It can be a frustrating injury and can take many months to heal. Golf places an incredible amount of stress on the achilles tendon from walking on uneven terrain to stress from the golf swing position.
Treatment typically involves rest, ice, oral anti-inflammatory medication, immobilization with a walking boot, physical therapy, custom foot orthotics,and as a last resort surgery.
Newer surgical options such as Extracorporeal Shockwave treatment can be utilized to speed up recovery time. This procedure is a noninvasive surgical technique that utilizes high energy soundwaves to break up inflammation and speed up recovery time.
