Achilles tendinitis is an overuse injury of the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects calf muscles at the back of the lower leg to your heel bone. It is characterized by inflammation, pain, and swelling in the tendon, often caused by repetitive stress or strain on the tendon.
The Achilles tendon is a strong, fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). It is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body, enabling walking, running, and jumping by transmitting force from the calf muscles to the foot.
Achilles tendon injuries are damages to the fibrous tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. These injuries can range from mild tendonitis to severe ruptures and can result from overuse, sudden increases in physical activity, or direct trauma.
