You feel a pop in the lower ankle and experience extreme pain making it impossible to walk. These are symptoms of a torn achilles tendon.

The achilles tendon is a very strong, cord that connects the heel bone to the lower leg. A torn achilles tendon causes walking to become impossible because the achilles tendon allows you to rise on your toes, point the foot and push off your foot when you walk and is essential to move the foot in any way.

Heal Achilles Tendonitis Inflammation

A partial or complete torn achilles tendon can occur from excessively stretching the achilles tendon. The torn achilles tendon can occur anywhere on the tendon, but most frequently occurs right above the bone of the heel.

Unlike bursitis and tendonitis, a torn achilles tendon cannot be treated easily at home with ice, rest or other simple treatments. A torn achilles tendon most often requires surgery in order to repair the tear.

A torn achilles tendon may occur when achilles tendonitis, or inflammation of the achilles tendon, goes untreated. Achilles tendonitis is aggravated by not stopping activity when the first signs of achilles tendonitis occur. It is important to pay attention to the first signs of achilles tendonitis so that you can rest the area and allow it to heal

Another contributing factor to developing a torn achilles tendon is wearing shoes that absorb heel shock excessively. These types of shoes cause the heel to sink further down into the shoe causing increased stretching of the Achilles tendon. You should switch shoes to ones without extra cushioning of the heel.

When calves and hamstring muscles are very tight, achilles tendonitis may get worse and cause a torn achilles tendon. It is important to gently stretch these muscles so that they are not excessively tight. Too much stretching of the back of the legs may make matters worse, however, in cases of acute achilles tendonitis.

Get Rid of Tendonitis of the Achilles Tendon for Good

Torn achilles tendon may also occur as a result of a single trauma to the area by an unexpected force. The sensation that people describe when they first experience a torn achilles tendon is a feeling like someone hit them in the back of the foot and a popping sound. The calf muscle becomes unattached to the heel bone causing pain and difficulty walking, running, jumping or raising up on the toes. If the torn achilles tendon is not treated, it will most likely not heal on its own and you may be disabled permanently.

A torn achilles tendon may be prevented by avoiding trauma to the area, not overstretching the achilles tendon, and increasing activity gradually over time, and  avoiding sudden movements. If you are new to exercise, be sure to warm up, stretch the muscles gently and don’t try to do too much at first. If you experience any pain at all in the achilles tendon, don’t keep going through the pain because it may get worse and over time may cause a torn achilles tendon.

 If you have suffered a torn Achilles tendon, it is important to see your doctor right away. You should discuss whether surgery is right for you, check to find an experienced and successful surgeon, and follow whatever rehabilitation program that is recommended following surgery. Remember that is important not to delay, because the sooner after the torn achilles tendon occurs, that you get the surgery, the better chance for success.
