Treating Achilles Tendinitis

treating Achilles Tendinitis Dallas residents who love the thrill of competition and spending time with friends (or even making new ones!) should check out Dallas Sport & Social Club. The organization offers an array of recreational sport leagues for those who want to play football, basketball, soccer, and softball, but also has less physically demanding activities like darts and ping pong.

If you decide to join a soccer or softball league, you should consider creating a workout plan to prepare your body and reduce the odds you will develop Achilles tendon problems. If you find you need Achilles tendinitis treatment, you can find exactly what you need here at Dallas Podiatry Works. We hope you are able to stay safe while performing your favorite activities, but lets’ take a look what is entailed with caring for Achilles tendinitis:

Rest. Your first step in overcoming this injury is to stop activities that cause pain. You do not have to completely remain inactive, though! (Actually, it’s better if you don’t.) Switching to low-impact activities like cycling or swimming is wise choice while your Achilles heals.
Medication. Naproxen, ibuprofen, and other pain relievers can reduce both the pain and the swelling you are experiencing on account of the injury. Check with our office for specific dosage recommendations.
Ice. We may recommend an icing regimen to further alleviate pain and swelling as part of your treatment plan. Remember, always wrap the ice or ice pack in a thin towel to protect your skin.
Physical therapy. We will provide you exercises you can perform to help strengthen the calf muscle and place less stress upon the Achilles tendon.

Your best practice for Achilles tendinitis treatment is to visit our medical professionals at Dallas Podiatry Works. We will assess your condition and its severity, and then create an effective treatment plan to put the pain in your rearview mirror. For more information on our podiatric services, or assistance scheduling an appointment for either our Dallas or Plano, TX offices, give us a call at 972.853.7100.

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
