A member asked:
I have had achilles tendonitis for a year now and it is really affecting my dancing. what can i do to treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Newer Treatments: Common treatments for achilles tendonitis are gastroc/soleus stretches, heel lifts, anti-inflammatory medications, orthotics, and eccentric strengthening. I have been dealing with this condition myself for over five years, which was refractory to all the above. Newer treatments including ultrasounded guided tenotomy & prp really helped me. People are also now using stem cell treatments as well.
