Achilles tendonitis can be a painful and significant problems for many sportsmen and women amongst runners of all ages. As you can gather from the name of the condition, this condition affects the Achilles tendon. The Achilles tendon joins the heel of the foot to the calve muscles which consists of three main muscles in the calve, the two heads of the gastrocnemius and the soleus. You may feel pain at the Achilles tendon during exercise and can increase once activity has ceased. The primary cause of Achilles tendonitis is over pronation. Dr Foot Sports or Dr Foot Pro Insoles can be inserted into the shoe to reduce the amount of pressure being applied to the Achilles tendon. These can be placed in both sport shoes and work shoes. By lifting up the heel of the foot, even by a small amount, a significant amount of force is decreased on the Achilles tendon.
