At Atherton Foot Clinic, I understand that staying active and pursuing sports can sometimes lead to lower limb issues and injuries. Achilles tendinitis, in particular, is a common problem that can affect athletes and active individuals alike. The podiatrist specialises in diagnosing and treating sports-related lower limb issues, offering rehabilitation to help you get back on your feet and back in the game.
Understanding Sports Injuries & Achilles Tendinitis:
Sports injuries and lower limb issues can arise from various causes, including:
1. Overuse: Engaging in repetitive activities or training excessively can strain the muscles and tendons in the lower limb, leading to injuries.
2. Biomechanical Factors: Poor foot alignment, gait abnormalities, or improper footwear can contribute to the development of injuries, including Achilles tendinitis.
3. Trauma: Accidents or sudden impacts during sports can result in sprains, strains, or fractures in the lower limb.
4. Achilles Tendinitis: This condition involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It can cause pain, stiffness, and weakness in the lower leg.
