Achilles Tendonitis
Simply Defined, Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or disease, and often causes swelling, pain, or irritation. This problem result's due to repetitive stress applied on Tendon. This often happens when we push our bodies to do too much, too soon, but other factors can make it more likely to develop tendinitis, including:
○ Sudden increase in the amount or intensity of exercise activity : For example, Increasing the distance you run every day by a few miles without giving your body a chance to adjust to the new distance
○ Tight calf muscles : Having tight calf muscles and suddenly starting an aggressive exercise program can put extra stress on the Achilles tendon
○ Bone spur : Extra bone growth where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone can rub against the tendon and cause pain
