Orthotics for Achilles Tendinitis: How Bondi Podiatry Can Help

Achilles tendinitis is a common condition that can cause pain and stiffness in the heel and ankle, often as a result of overuse, injury, or degeneration. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is the largest tendon in the body. It's commonly used when walking, running, jumping, and climbing stairs. At Bondi Podiatry, we understand the importance of treating Achilles tendinitis to alleviate pain and improve overall foot and ankle health.

Orthotics are a type of shoe insert that can provide support and alignment to the foot, which can help to alleviate pain caused by Achilles tendinitis. Custom orthotics can help redistribute pressure on the foot, reducing pain and inflammation on the Achilles tendon. They also help to improve overall foot function by reducing overpronation (when the foot rolls inward too much) and improve shock absorption.

Custom orthotics are made to fit the unique shape of your foot and can be adjusted to suit your specific needs. They are designed to provide support to the foot and can help to alleviate pain caused by Achilles tendinitis. They can also help to improve overall foot function by reducing overpronation and improving shock absorption.

At Bondi Podiatry, we use advanced technology to create custom orthotics that are tailored to your individual needs. We use 3D scanning technology to capture a precise image of your feet, and our team of experienced


podiatrists will work with you to design orthotics that provide the support and alignment you need.

In addition to custom orthotics, we also provide a variety of other treatments to alleviate the pain caused by Achilles tendinitis, including:

  • Stretching exercises: Stretching the Achilles tendon can help to alleviate pain and improve flexibility. We can provide you with a personalized stretching program to help you achieve the best results.

  • Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the foot and ankle, which can help to alleviate pain and improve overall foot and ankle health.

  • Rest and Ice: Resting the affected area and applying ice can help to reduce inflammation and pain.

We also treat a variety of other foot and ankle conditions, such as heel spurs, ankle sprains, and flat feet. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care to help alleviate your pain and improve your overall foot and ankle health.
