Insertional Achilles tendinopathy affects the point where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone. Unlike standard Achilles tendinopathy, the pain is located lower down near the heel and can be especially uncomfortable when walking or wearing shoes. Mr Pavel Akimau offers insertional Achilles tendinopathy treatment designed to reduce pain and provide long-term relief.

The condition often develops because of repeated stress on the tendon. Running, sports, tight calf muscles, and certain types of footwear can all increase the risk.

Treatment usually begins with conservative methods. Patients are often advised to reduce activities that place too much strain on the tendon. Physiotherapy can help by improving flexibility and strengthening the surrounding muscles.

Footwear changes are also important. Shoes with a slightly raised heel may reduce pressure on the tendon. Orthotic insoles can provide additional support.

Shockwave therapy is increasingly used to treat insertional Achilles tendinopathy. The treatment stimulates the body’s healing response and can reduce pain in patients who have had symptoms for several months.

If symptoms continue despite these treatments, surgery may be necessary. Mr Pavel Akimau performs surgery to remove damaged tissue and any bone spurs that may be irritating the tendon.

With the right treatment plan, most patients can reduce pain and return to activity.
