How Runners With Severe Achilles Tendinosis Heal Without Surgery

In Part 1 of our series on Achilles tendinitis we talked about how runners with mild forms of Achilles tendon injuries can decrease the inflammation, decrease the stress and tension on the Achilles tendon, get better and keep running. But we also talked about the unfortunate reality of some runners having a tendency to ignore these injuries when they are in there earliest stages. Because many runners have a high pain threshold you may not even notice the first stage of Achilles tendinitis. If you don’t notice there is a problem, it’s unlikely you will treat the problem. So you may be one of those runners who just really didn’t realize you were developing a problem with the Achilles tendon. You might have noticed some weird sensations that went on for months. If so, you may have developed one of the more severe forms of Achilles tendon injury. In today's podcast we’re talking about how runners with severe cases of Achilles tendinitis keep running without surgery.
