What are treatment options for achilles tendonitis?

Achilles tendinitis: My experience after 30 years in practice is that aggressive physical therapy, prolotherapy and orthotics work very well.

Stretching and PT: Stretching and pt have been the most effective for most of the patients i see. I have not seen good scientific evidence supporting prolotherapy for this or any other condition.
