When you climb stairs, your Achilles tendon can easily be subject to pulling forces of up to 500kg. The Achilles tendon is actually the strongest tendon in the whole body, but high stresses frequently cause issues.

Achilles tendon pain can be difficult to manage and often needs the expertise of physiotherapists, podiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine doctors in a multidisciplinary team.

At Schoen Clinic, we carefully assess your symptoms, and using our diagnostic imaging suite, we are able to provide you with a rapid and accurate diagnosis. We also have a state-of-the-art 4D Gait Scanner that can detect the underlying mechanics that have led to your Achilles problems.
