Achilles Tendonitis (officially known as Achilles Tendonothapy) is caused by repeated “micro injuries” to the achilles tendon that do not heal. Find out more about the signs, symptoms and treatment.
Background: We sought to compare clinical efficacy among endoscopy-assisted radio-frequency ablation under local anesthesia, extracorporeal shockwaves (ESWs), and eccentric exercises in treating insertional Achilles tendinosis. Methods: In this retrospective study, 78 patients diagnosed as having unilateral...
The classical conservative treatments for non-insertional TAT include rest, eccentric exercises, shockwave therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroids, among others. However, the two later drugs have been associated with deleterious effects on tendon healing2. Platelet-rich plasma ...
