Diagnostic Tests and Procedures for Achilles Tendinosis

New York (USA), June 17, 2013

Achilles tendinosis is a degenerative condition affecting a tendon. The first step in diagnosing Achilles tendinosis is to determine extent and severity of injury. Doctor normally conducts a physical examination of affected tendon by touching and pressing entire region.

Achilles tendinosis thickens tendon, which restricts free movement of ankle and foot. Doctor instructs you to stand on your toes or push off your foot in a forward direction. With Achilles tendinosis, both actions are difficult and sometimes not possible.

Overuse of tendon is the primary cause for Achilles tendinosis. Although is starts as a tendon inflammation, normally it progresses into various stages involving pathological changes and slowly into total failure or rupture of tendon.
