What is Achilles Tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon — the thick band that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. It often develops from overuse, sudden increases in activity, or tight calf muscles. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, or swelling at the back of the heel, especially after exercise or prolonged activity. Left untreated, it can progress into chronic pain, tendon degeneration, or even rupture.

How TruCustom Orthotics Can Help

TruCustom Orthotics can play a key role in managing Achilles tendonitis by reducing tension on the tendon and supporting proper biomechanics. TruCustom Orthotics are designed with gentle heel lifts and tailored arch support to offload stress from the Achilles, promote alignment, and cushion each step. By absorbing shock and stabilizing your gait, they can help speed up recovery and prevent future flare-ups.
