At StatPodiatry, we offer a range of treatments depending on the severity of your condition:

    • Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises tailored to improve flexibility and reduce stress on the tendon.
    • Orthotics: Custom shoe inserts can help support your foot structure and alleviate pressure on the Achilles tendon.
  2. Medications: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to reduce pain and swelling.
  3. Minimally Invasive Procedures: For more severe cases, we may recommend techniques such as shockwave therapy or PRP injections to promote healing.
  4. Surgical Intervention: In cases of a ruptured tendon or chronic pain unresponsive to other treatments, surgery may be required to repair or reinforce the tendon.
