Achilles Tendon Pain
The Achilles tendon, the thickest and strongest tendon in the body, originates from the calf muscles ( gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris) and inserts upon heel bone (calcaneus). Achilles tendonitis, an inflammation of the tendon, is painful and can be difficult to treat. Conservative therapy includes trials of NSAIDs, orthotics, and physical therapy.Read more about Achilles Tendon Pain
