Will Regenerative Cell Therapy Works If You Get Achilles Tendonitis?

 An injury to the Achilles tendon that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone can be Achilles tendonitis.  Generally, it affects people who are accustomed to regular exercise but suddenly start on high-intensity exercises. It also affects runners.

Consider the following scenarios:

Mr A has a passion for running as it is one of the best forms of exercise. Out of enthusiasm, Mr  A is running daily, and with that, he is increasing the distance he runs quite appreciably. Mr  A didn’t realize his body needed time to adjust to this newfound passion for running. Because of that, he is feeling pain in his heel that worsens with exercise.

Mr  B, on the other hand, is an established athlete. But Mr  B made the mistake of increasing his exercise intensity even though he experienced stiffness in his calf muscle. Mr  B further strained his Achilles tendon and is experiencing severe pain from the day after the exercise.

Mr  C cannot blame the heel pain and the tendon thickening he is experiencing on exercise, unlike Mr  A and Mr  B. Mr  C has an extra bone growth called bone-spur. It grows at the point where the Achilles tendon joins the heel bone. There is a swelling caused by the rubbing of the bone spur against the tendon. Because of that, there is heel pain.

Achilles tendonitis was the result in all the above cases. 

Be aware of Achilles tendonitis symptoms

The symptoms of Achilles tendonitis are listed below:

  • Heel pain

  • Heel tenderness

  • Stiffness in the lower leg

  • Swelling of the Achilles tendon

  • Pain in the tendon during the morning hours 

  • Feeling of pain on the day after exercise

  • Feeling of pain on squeezing the sides of the tendon

Achilles tendon rupture can take place in some cases. Sharp pain behind the ankle can characterize this. A ‘popping’ sound can possibly accompany it. In such cases, it is necessary to consult a doctor without delay.

Who is prone to develop Achilles tendonitis?

We must know that certain people are more susceptible to developing Achilles tendonitis:

  • Men are more prone to get it than women.

  • Chances of Achilles tendonitis increases with age.

  • People with flat arch feet are more prone to it.

  • Increased blood pressure and Psoriasis heightens the chances.

  • Cold weather


Does prevention work?

Prevention is always better than cure. Few points here that’ll help in minimizing the possibility of developing Achilles tendonitis:

  • Perform calf strengthening exercises by stretching the muscles. It’ll make the calf muscles stronger. By this, the calf muscles can withstand more force.

  • Alter high-intensity workouts with low-intensity workouts. This will give the calf muscles enough time to recover.

  • Increase workout intensity gradually because enthusiasm can overshadow reasoning while working out.

  • Choose surfaces that are conducive to running. Avoid running on hard surfaces and wear shoes with cushioned heels.

You can follow prevention steps before you get Achilles tendonitis or once it gets healed. However, is it possible to heal Achilles tendonitis? Yes, of course.
