Rehabilitation : Not having the cause of the injury makes it a little difficult. Having said this strengthening and stretching of the Achilles tendon is very important. Keeping the extremity in a brace is good for the acute phase however you must strengthening and stretching it to get back to normal and hopefully prevent reoccurrence. If it continues to be a problem seek the help of a podiatrist
