Achilles Tendinitis Treatment Klemzig
Achilles Tendonitis (also known as Achilles Tendinitis) is defined as inflammation or degeneration caused by excessive stretching and overuse of the Achilles tendon. At Heel Pain Clinics of Adelaide, we see several cases of Achilles Tendon Injuries every day, offering care to patients in Klemzig.
What Are The Symptoms Of Achilles Tendinitis?
Patients who come to us with Achilles injuries often report a similar set of experiences:
- Sensing pain and stiffness in the area first thing in the morning
- A reduction in pain following a brief period of movement and warming up, often with the aid of a warm shower
- The pain has a tendency to return after extended periods of physical activity, especially in sports like running, tennis, football, or dance
What Are The Causes Of Achilles Tendon Injuries?
The Achilles Tendon is usually subjected to three common injuries:
- Achilles Tendinitis (Achilles Tendon inflammation)
- Achilles Tendinosis/Tendonopathy (Achilles Tendon degeneration)
- Retrocalneal Bursitis
At Heel Pain Clinics of Adelaide, Achilles Tendinitis presents most commonly and is characterized by acute inflammation.

Achilles Tendonopathy or Achilles Tendinosis is essentially the advanced stage of chronic Achilles Tendinitis. It’s interesting to note that inflammation isn’t a characteristic of this condition. What these patients do experience is scarring, thickening, and/or microtear breakdown of the tendon. Despite the absence of redness or warmth in the surrounding tissue, the area can be sensitive and cause discomfort upon contact.
At Heel Pain Clinics of Adelaide, we come across instances of Retrocalcaneal Bursitis from time to time. This refers to the inflammation of the sac, filled with a fluid-like lubricant, positioned between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone. There’s a high chance of detecting a notable bony protrusion on the top exterior margin of the heel’s back, termed as a Haglund’s deformity.
