Achillodynia is a frequent and unpleasant disease, it reduces the performance of an athlete.

  • Damage to the Achilles tendon due to the disparity between the load on the tendon + its biomechanical potential
  • Dystrophic changes of the tendon + its attachment to the tuber calcanei occur during overuse
  • Clinically: overstretching of the tendon + pain when standing on tiptoe, with load
  • Treatment: exclusion of load, Priessnitz dressings, plaster fixation, NSA overall and locally, surgery
