Achilles tendon and heel pain often stem from overuse, injury, or conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and bone spurs. Rest, ice, stretching, and orthotic devices are common treatments that help relieve pain and reduce inflammation, while physical therapy can aid in strengthening the area. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Preventing these issues involves proper warm-up, gradual exercise intensity, and supportive footwear. Early intervention is key to faster recovery and avoiding further injury.
