How Runners Heal Achilles Tendinitis Without A Doctor And Keep Running - a podcast by Dr. Christopher Segler

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast we’re talking about how runners with Achilles tendinitis skip the doctor visit and keep running.

The Achilles tendon is the biggest tendon in the body. So when the Achilles tendon gets injured, the runner has a really big problem. If you neglect the early sign of problems with the Achilles tendon and develop a severe form of Achilles tendinitis, you can be crippled temporarily and have your running form altered permanently. In short, you may never run the same way again.

If you’ve been running with an aching pain in the back of your leg down near your heel and you worry you have Achilles tendinitis you’re probably freaked out and concerned that you’re going to have to stop running. But don’t worry. I’m going to explain to you exactly what runners do that helps them get over those early forms of Achilles tendinitis without ever seeing a doctor.
