Achilles tendonitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which is the band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This injury is commonly caused by overuse or repetitive use of the tendon, especially in activities that involve running, jumping, or climbing stairs. Our podiatrists in Malaga can help you solve this pathology effectively and with a quick recovery from surgery.

What is Achilles Tendinitis?
The most common symptoms of Achilles tendonitis are pain and stiffness in the back of the leg, just above the heel, especially after playing sports. This pain is usually worse in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity. You may also experience swelling and the formation of hard nodules on the tendon, as well as a crunching or popping sensation when you move your ankle or press on the tendon. In addition, it is common to feel weakness in the affected leg.

Treatment of Achilles Tendinitis
At Poyatos Clinic, as reference podiatrists in Malaga, we consider surgery for Achilles tendonitis when conservative treatments (physiotherapy and insoles) have not been effective. The initial treatment recommended for Achilles tendonitis focuses on non-surgical measures in which we will work on improving ankle movement and its relationship with the posterior muscles of the leg and the position of our body in space. We generally find patients who have a center of gravity that is more forward than the physiological parameters, which we will correct with treatment.
Our patients leave foot surgery walking in a walker “boot.” They keep it on for 4 to 6 weeks depending on the surgery.
Importance of Footprint Study.
Foot deformities often arise from changes in the way the foot supports and distributes the load when walking. To ensure effective and long-lasting correction, it is essential to analyze these movements and correct them through surgery when necessary.
A detailed gait study is key to identifying the exact cause of the deformity, making an accurate diagnosis and applying the appropriate treatment. Only in this way can we ensure that the surgery provides definitive results, preventing the deformity from reappearing over time.
We perform foot surgery interventions in referral hospitals, guaranteeing maximum safety and advanced technology in every operation.
