Management for Achilles Tendon Pain Plantation

Nonsurgical treatment will be recommended initially by your doctor. This could take several months for the discomfort to go away, especially if you've been experiencing symptoms for a while.

• The following are examples of nonsurgical therapy options:
• The RICE technique consists of the following steps:
• Rest: Avoid activities that cause stress on your tendon. Reduce the amount of stress on the Achilles tendon by switching to low-impact activities like swimming.
• Ice: Apply ice on your tendon as necessary throughout the day for up to 20 minutes.
• Compression: Use an athletic wrap or surgical tape to compress or apply pressure on the tendon.
• Elevation: To minimize inflammation, lie down and elevate your foot above your heart using pillows.
