What Is Achilles Tendinitis?
Achilles Tendinitis occurs when the tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel becomes irritated or inflamed. It’s one of the most common causes of heel and lower leg pain in adults—especially runners, athletes, or anyone who spends long hours on their feet.
At Preferred Foot & Ankle, Dr. Jeff Korab identifies the source of tendon pain and build a personalized treatment plan to restore strength, flexibility, and comfort—without unnecessary downtime.
Why Early Evaluation Matters
Even mild stiffness can turn into chronic pain if left untreated. Dr. Korab acts quickly to stop inflammation and prevent long-term tendon damage.
They evaluate your gait, flexibility, and activity level to pinpoint the cause of strain—whether it’s overuse, improper footwear, or tight calf muscles. Once the root cause is identified, they move fast to reduce pain and get you back to your normal routine.
Proven Treatment Options
Conservative Care Comes First
Our team focuses on non-surgical treatments that work. Depending on your condition, we may recommend:
- Custom orthotics to support your arch and relieve tension on the tendon.
- Stretching routines and physical therapy to improve flexibility and strength.
- Heel lifts or supportive shoes to reduce strain during activity.
- Advanced shockwave therapy to stimulate healing and repair damaged tissue.
Most patients experience significant relief within weeks and return to daily activity stronger and more confident.
