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.
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.
Every pair of TruCustom Orthotics includes:
Orthotics play an important role in the recovery process by reducing strain on the Achilles tendon, improving alignment, and absorbing shock. While they don’t directly heal the tendon, they create the ideal conditions for healing and help prevent further irritation or injury.
Many customers experience noticeable improvement within a few days to two weeks. Consistent wear is key to allowing your body to adjust and realign properly.
Consistent use provides the best results, especially during standing or walking.
