Achilles Tendinitis can cause tremendous heel pain. But, painkillers and steroid injections can’t give you a permanent cure. These treatments can only subdue the symptoms and they can’t cure the root cause of the disease. But, through our medica stem cell therapy, you can treat the root cause of the disease. Let us understand the cause of this condition. Then we can understand medica stem cell treatment in detail and the unique benefits of PRP therapy and medica stem cell therapy.
Overview
Inflammation of Achilles tendon takes place when the tendon swells and it develops as pain near the heel. It is a very common tendon injury.
With the help of the Achilles tendon, the bone of the heel connects to the calf muscles of the leg. This tendon is maximum put to use when walking, running, and jumping. Hence, if you ignore the pain of the tendon or if too much force is applied to the tendon, you can make the tendon tear partially or break completely.
Causes of inflamed Achilles Tendon
The Achilles tendon occurs due to the overuse or repeated activity that stresses the calf muscle. Therefore, the common reasons are:
- Frequent physical activity like walking or exercise.
- Using the wrong fitted footwear while playing or exercising.
- Taut tendon.
- Daily usage of high heels for a prolonged time.
- Pressure or stress on the tendon
- Playing regular sports like tennis where you can find quick stops and direction changes.
- Continuing with exercise without a regular warm-up.
Signs and symptoms
Due to high straining of calf muscle activity, the symptoms listed below can occur:
- Severe pain while doing the exercise or after that
- Swelling of the tendon
- Bone spur (insertional tendinitis}
- Stiffness or tenderness of the calf muscle in the morning
- Thickening of the tendon
- Analysis
Your doctor does a physical test to diagnose the tenderness and pain along the tendon area. An X-ray test may be recommended by the doctor to confirm this condition. A clear image of the bone is provided in the x-ray to inspect the hardening or calcification of the lower part of the Achilles tendon.
Conservative treatment
Conventional treatment for the inflamed Achilles tendon includes physical therapy and R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation). Physical therapy can aid you in strengthening the stretched muscles.
Following the non-surgical pain relief methods, the progress of the disease can be slowed. Administering NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections can provide temporary relief. However, prolonged usage of these methods can lead to many systemic adverse side effects.
If neglected and left untreated, the injury can develop into Achilles rupture. Hence, if there is no improvement in symptoms, your doctor may advise you with surgery. If you opt for surgery, the damaged regions of the tendon will be removed. But, once the surgery is over, the post-surgical recovery period will take a lot of time. The patient will come across complications like infection and dislocation. You’ll have to invest in physical therapy and activity modification.
Regenerative Cell therapy for Achilles Tendinitis
As an alternative treatment for surgery, you can look into regenerative treatments like Stem Cells therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy. Under regenerative therapy, the affected area is repaired naturally and the cells are restored at the damaged area. You can get permanent relief in a short period of time. Your own regenerative cells are injected in this method. Hence, there won’t be any rejection or allergy.
So, you can always consider regenerative cell therapy instead of surgery. Get back to your normal routine quickly and lead a painless life.
