Achilles Tendinopathy: Diagnostic Tests and Procedures
Achilles tendinopathy is easily diagnosed due to its typical symptoms. Doctor examines tendon for any tenderness or swelling. Sometimes doctor checks foot and ankle movement by squeezing your calf muscles.
Doctor may also instruct you to do simple foot movements to stress your Achilles tendon to understand extent of damage or pain. You stand on affected leg and raise heel off the ground.
Alternatively, doctor instructs you to hop on your affected foot in forward movement or on the spot. This is painful if you have Achilles tendinopathy.
Although X-ray is not normally suggested, doctor could advise MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or ultrasound to get a clear picture of Achilles tendinopathy.
