Understanding Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This inflammation can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the back of the lower leg, making it difficult to walk or engage in physical activities comfortably.

Common Causes of Achilles Tendonitis

There are several factors that can contribute to the development of achilles tendonitis, including:

• Overuse or repetitive stress on the achilles tendon
• Poor footwear choices
• Training errors
