The achilles tendonitis treatment depends of the severity of the condition. The list below contains the various treatment options available. If you use the techniques on list below and the pain still persists or gets worse, you're advised to seek professional medical advice as soon as possible. Further achilles tendonitis treatment may be required.
Rest and apply R.I.C.E treatment (Rest, Isolation, compression, Elevation)
Put your lower leg on a soft surface (a pillow is ideal) when you're laying down
Wear a heal pad that slightly raises your heel
Take anti-inflammatory medication
In severe cases of achilles tendonitis the leg may be required to be put in a cast for several weeks. And in very extreme cases, surgery is required. These cases are usually rare and lenghty rehabilitation is required before full movement is allowed.
