Extractions: David Holt specialized in orthopedics 20 years ago, and has been a regular runner for longer than that. Here is his advice on two key exercise injuries. The Achilles tendon attaches to the Calf Muscle. Strain the gastrocnemious muscle and you'll have placed great pressure on the Achilles tendon. Strained the Achilles or have chronic Achilles tendinitis...look to the calf muscle for associated injury or muscle shortness. Shortening of the Achilles tendon and calf muscle is a big part of the problem. Avoid high heels...you don't have to follow the fashions. Heel inserts are a great aid to reducing strain on the Achilles tendon, but are not effective unless you also work on the flexibility aspect with whichever two or three stretches you prefer from:

Emory Sports Medicine printer-friendly version Achilles Tendonitis Anatomy of Achilles Tendon: Achilles tendonitis is inflammation and/or degeneration of the Achilles tendon which is also called the heel cord. It is a large tendon that is an extension of the calf muscles which run down the back of the lower leg and attach to the heel bone. This tendon is vital to walking, an activity almost impossible to do with this injury. The name comes from the legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War, Achilles, who was killed when an arrow struck him in the heel, the only vulnerable spot on his body. Injuries or Conditions for Achilles Tendon:
Extractions: content partner To discover more about Achilles Tendinitis injuries you need only look at the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus). This tendon can become inflammed through overuse as well as a number of contributory factors. If the warning signs of Achilles tendinitis are ignored or it is not allowed to heal properly then the injury can become chronic. Chronic Achilles tendinitis is a difficult condition to treat. The pains experienced during the acute phase of the injury tend to disappear after a warm up but return when training has stopped. Eventually the injury gets worse and worse until it is impossible to run.

Achilles Tendinitis The achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. The achilles tendon has a poor blood supply which is why it is slow to heal. http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/back/achilles/tendinitis.htm
Extractions: The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the ankle. It connects the large calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus) to the heal bone (calcaneus). This tendon can become inflammed through overuse as well as a number of contributory factors. It is estimated that 11% of all running injuries can be due to Achilles tendinitis. The Achilles tendon has a poor blood supply which is why it is slow to heal. What kind of rehabilitation is important? Achilles tendinitis can be acute or chronic. Acute tendinitis will happen as a result of overuse or training too much, too soon especially on hard surfaces or up hills. If your feet roll in when you run or overpronate then this can increase the strain on the Achilles tendon because the tendon is twisted as the foot rolls in. If the warning signs of Achilles tendinitis are ignored or it is not allowed to heal properly then the injury can become chronic. Chronic Achilles tendinitis is a difficult condition to treat. The pains experienced during the acute phase of the injury tend to disappear after a warm up but return when training has stopped. Eventually the injury gets worse and worse until it is impossible to run.

Extractions: Some questions answered The Achilles tendon (or heel cord) is the thick strap that can be felt running down the back of the calf into the heel. The tendon is made up of many bundles or fibres of a strong material called collagen, which is the body's main tissue building block. It is attached to, and worked by, the large muscles that make up the calf (gastrocnemius and soleus). When the Achilles tendon pulls on the heel it makes us go up on tiptoe, or pushes us forwards when walking or running. If this tendon is not working it is difficult to walk and the ankle feels weak. As we get older the tendon becomes less flexible and less able to absorb the repeated stresses of running. Eventually small "degenerative" tears develop in the fibres of the tendon. The body tries to repair these tears. Sometimes the repair process is successful. However, the blood supply of the lower part of the tendon is not very strong and the combination of this and the continued stresses of running mean that the tendon may not completely heal. Instead, the tendon and its lining become painful and swollen, and the tendon may feel weak. The combination of degenerative and repair processes in the tendon is called tendonosis (or sometimes tendonitis). Because the lining of the tendon is called its tenosynovium, inflammation of the lining is called tenosynovitis.

Extractions: AFL Cricket NRL Rugby ... Clinics The Achilles tendon is the longest and thickest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscle group to the heel bone (calcaneus) behind the ankle joint. It is named after the Greek warrior Achilles who legend states was felled by an arrow which hit his unprotected Achilles tendon. Achilles tendon injuries are very common in runners but also occur in football players. Injuries can be subdivided into partial tendon injuries (tendonitis or partial tears) and complete ruptures.

Achilles Injury achilles TENDON INJURIES a patient s guide Dr Ruth Highet - Sports Physician. There s that sharp pain again on the inside of your achilles tendon. http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/articles/achillesinjury.html
Extractions: Dr Ruth Highet - Sports Physician You've just completed an excellent session of speed work at the track, doing 10 x 400 repeats, then decide you'll do 2 more - your rationale being "gotta be good for that race coming up in 4 weeks time if I have a faster sprint to the finish line!" The 11th 400m goes well - exact same pace as the previous 6, so on the last 400, a little voice says - "go for it" at the 200m. In the split-second you decide to make this one faster than the last 7, you feel an agonisingly sharp pain in the lower calf area that immediately pulls you up. You hobble to a post just off the track - and stretch out your calf. There's that sharp pain again on the inside of your Achilles tendon. You sit down and try to massage it yourself, very tender! You decide to get home as quickly as possible to get some ice onto it!
