What is the treatment for achilles tendons injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : It all depends on the extend of injury. Achilles tendinitis vs. Rupture have different courses of treatment. For tendinitis physical therapy, orthotics and shoe modification along with stretching can help. For rupture then surgical repair is needed.
