Achilles Tendinopathy
Achilles tendinopathy describes a condition in which the tendon that connects the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) to the heel bone (calcaneus) becomes irritated, resulting in pain and limited function.
Achilles tendinopathy can be subdivided into two categories based on the location of symptoms. These two subdivisions include mid-substance and insertional variations. Pain associated with mid-substance tendinopathy is experienced several centimeters above the heel bone, whereas, insertional pain is experienced at the calcaneus.
