Achillodynia, also known as Achilles tendon pain, requires similar measures as Achilles tendonitis. In addition to the measures already mentioned, it is important to pay attention to the foot support and the choice of shoes. Special orthopedic insoles can reduce the strain on the Achilles tendon. Physiotherapy is also crucial here to strengthen the muscles and stretch the tendon. In severe cases, a doctor may consider an injection of corticosteroids or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In the case of chronic or severe symptoms, surgery is sometimes unavoidable. It is advisable to have regular check-ups with an orthopedist to monitor progress.
