Heel Tendinitis treatment in Cancún

Heel tendinitis is the inflammation or irritation of the Achilles tendon, the structure that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It is usually related to overuse or repeated exertion.

Frequent symptoms: pain and stiffness in the back of the heel, especially when starting activity or after periods of rest, along with discomfort when walking or running.

Common causes: an abrupt increase in physical activity, inadequate footwear, being overweight, or lack of warm-up.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist evaluates the injury and, together with the physical therapist, guides recovery and the gradual return to activity. If pain limits your movements or does not ease with rest, it is worth having a professional examine the tendon before the discomfort drags on.
