How do you get rid of calcium deposits on achilles tendon?

Therapy: Try therapy first. If not painful, then don't worry about it. If painful, proceed with therapy for eccentric contraction exercises and deep tissue massage. Ultrasound and electrical stimulation can also help. Anti-inflammatory medicine can help with inflammation pain. Surgery is the last resort if symptoms persist.

Only way: To get rid of them is surgery but i would wait until you can't stand the pain. If on back of heels its called a retro-calcaneal spur. Rest, ice, compression, elevation and nsaids may he.
