Incorporate these concepts into your recovery and post recovery habits to speed your recovery and prevent a reoccurrence of the injury.
Avoid anti-inflammatory and pain killing drugs. The anti-inflammatory drugs will not help because Achilles tendinosis is a degenerative injury rather than an inflammation (see injuries). The pain killing drugs will mask the problem, which is likely to cause the degeneration to get worse. In addition to being ineffective, anti-inflammatory and pain killing drugs are also expensive.
Physical therapy consisting of stretching and specific strengtheningexercisesthatareprobablythemosthelpful treatments for those with Achilles tendon problems. Ensuring adequate flexibility of the muscles of the calf is onepriority.Strengtheningofthesemuscles,specifically eccentric strengthening exercises, have been shown to help with chronic tendon problems.
