The Achilles tendon is a key player in our ability to move, connecting the calf and soleus muscles to the heel bone. When this tendon is injured, it can lead to significant pain and mobility issues. At Cherrywood Foot Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all types of Achilles tendon injuries.
Expert Achilles Surgery at Cherrywood Foot Care
Our experienced team performs outpatient surgery to repair torn or ruptured Achilles tendons. We start with a local anesthetic, then create a small incision above the heel to access the damaged tendon. If there’s significant swelling, we may wait about a week for it to subside before proceeding with the surgery. Our board-certified professionals will guide you through each step of the process to ensure effective and timely treatment.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, you will typically wear a cast or walking boot for six to twelve weeks. Initially, the boot will keep your foot pointed downward to promote healing. As you recover, we will gradually adjust the boot to a neutral position. Engaging in specific gentle exercises post-surgery can help speed up your rehabilitation process.
Your Journey to Recovery
At Cherrywood Foot Care, we recognize how challenging an Achilles injury can be. Our mission is to not only repair the tendon but also to provide support and reassurance throughout your recovery journey. We’re here to help you get back on your feet and moving pain-free as quickly as possible.
