  • Title: Nonsurgical Management of Midsubstance Achilles Tendinopathy.
    Author: McClinton S, Luedke L, Clewley D.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2017 Apr; 34(2):137-160. PubMed ID: 28257671.
    Abstract:
    Midsubstance Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common lower leg conditions. Most patients can recover with nonsurgical treatment that focuses on tendon loading exercises and, when necessary, symptom modulating treatments such as topical, oral, or injected medication, ice, shoe inserts, manual therapy, stretching, taping, or low-level laser. If unresponsive to initial management, a small percentage of patients may consider shockwave or sclerosing treatment and possibly surgery.
