ACHILLES TENDON
Believe it or not but 25% of Achilles tendon ruptures are missed during doctors' initial examinations, according to the authors of the clinical review published in the November issue of The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
The researchers also said that diagnostic imaging, such as MRI or ultrasound, is not recommended for people with Achilles tendon problems unless a rupture is suspected. This is partly due to the protective sheet around most tendons, is not present in the achilles tendon, and ultrasound could possibly damage the area further.
The Plantaris muscle (pic 2) and tendon injuries is commonly mistaken for Achilles problems. So while you are trying to treat the achilles, but the original problem is actually the Plantaris muscle/tendon, you will see slower outcomes, or no outcome at all.
Achilles Tendons are not as hard to treat as commonly believed. If the therapist knows the correct friction type to use, the correct protocol, and a correct back to activity strength program then you should be back to your normal routine quicker then what you once thought.
