Treatment Of Achilles Tendonitis Or Tears Without Surgery Or Injections

Tears of the Achilles tendon, Achilles tear, or Achilles heel results from excessive stresses on calf muscles or the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon attaches the two calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus muscles) to the back of the calcaneal bone at the conceal prominence. Running, jumping, and aggressive athletic activities are the main culprits in Achilles tendinitis and Achilles tear. Another common cause of Achilles tendon tear is the neglect of preexisting Achilles tendinitis. Tendinitis is an inflammatory reaction that occurs as a result of injuries to a tendon. Frequently, these are microscopic tears or irritation of the synovium, a protective sheath that surrounds a tendon.

Should You Avoid Steroid Injection & Ankle Surgery For Achilles Tendinitis Or Achilles Tears?

Surgeons love surgery and steroid injections. These are their to-go-to methods of treatment for all types of injuries. We are adamantly opposed to any use of steroid injections. However, there are instances that surgery is needed. Achilles tendons surgery should only be performed on a fully torn Achilles tendon. If the tear is partial, it will heal by our advanced methods of non-surgical Achilles tendon treatment. 

Injecting steroids into tissue is not as beneficial as doctors claim. At best, it will give you pain relief for days or weeks. At worse, it can kill you or kills your bones, muscles, or ligament! Is it worth the risk of getting this infamous procedure that may or may not give you days or weeks of recovery? Let’s look at what research proved. 

A recently published article in the Journal of Radiology exposed the harmful impact of steroid injections on bones, ligaments, tendons, joints, and nerves. The authors studied the effects of steroid injections on the joint of pateints months or years after the procedures. In all cases, they found irreparable damage to tissue, including the death of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They called on the entire medical community to stop injections with steroids as they are more harmful than the patient’s conditions. Their findings were such a shock that CNN news made it a point to offer public announcements to educate the unsuspecting injured patients about the infamous steroid injections.

Complete Tear Or Rupture Of Achilles Tendon

Complete rupture of the Achilles tendon typically presents in male athletes in their 30s or 40s. The site of tear may or may not be at the watershed area with poor blood supply. Most of the patients may claim that they felt like they were being kicked or hit in the back of the leg. You may note an audible snap. Pain may not be a significant concern. However, the patient will notice grossly diminished function of the leg.

The patient will be limping but will not be severely disabled as regular movements of the leg are maintained using compensatory muscles. Most of the patients can walk but will have difficulty standing on their toes. 

The following four clinical tests are most commonly used to examine complete rupture of the Achilles tendon:

1. Upon careful observation of a patient lying face down (prone) with both ankles fully relaxed, the foot on the side of the ruptured tendon hangs straight down as there is no muscle-tendon tone. In contrast, the foot on the healthy side will be slightly plantarflexed.
2. There may be a visible, palpable gap in the tendon, approximately 3-6 cm.
3. There will be a significant reduction in the strength of plantarflexion.
4. Simmond’s or Thomson’s calf squeeze test will be positive. The foot will not have the plantarflexion movement when pressure is applied to the calf.
