Fit and Function
The Vero Ankle® braces are extremely effective in managing Achilles Tendonitis pain and swelling. The anchor straps of the braces provide the right amount of compression and support around the upper ankle, offering massive pain relief. Also, the BioMemory™ materials used in the braces replicate the body’s anatomy and offer a snug fit for ankles of all shapes and sizes. And since the braces have a low profile, you can wear shoes and cleats over them without any issue.
Apart from offering the right amount of compression, the braces from Vero Ankle® also offer dynamic stability to your joint, ensuring the ligaments are not strained further. Also, the elastomers used in the braces help retain their original shape, offering quality support throughout the recovery process. If you need to perform a high-intensity exercise, the braces can store the energy and release it when tensioned, just like modern-day running shoes.
ACHILLES TENDONITIS: WHAT IS IT?
The Achilles tendon is a fibrous cord in our body that connects muscles in the back of our claves to our heel bones. The overstretching of the Achilles tendon may cause irritation or inflammation of the tendon and may also lead to tearing of the tendon.
Achilles tendonitis is a medical condition that occurs when the tendon connecting the back of your leg to your heels swells up and becomes painful near the bottom of your foot. Even though this condition is more common in athletes, non-athletes may also develop it if their Achilles tendons are overstretched on a regular basis.
If you have Achilles tendonitis, it may be because your Achilles tendon has been overstretched significantly in the recent past. It may have happened during any sport or athletic activity when you suddenly increase the intensity or duration of the exercise.
You may experience pain at the back of your leg or above the heel due to Achilles tendonitis after running or playing a sport (such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, etc.). You may experience severe pain due to this condition if you run for prolonged periods, climb stairs, or sprint.
ACHILLES TENDONITIS SYMPTOMS
The common symptoms of Achilles tendonitis include pain and stiffness in the area, especially in the morning, as well as pain in the heel and along the length of the tendon during activities like walking or running. Swelling may also occur in the heel or along the tendon, and the area can become tender to touch or movement. Individuals may find it difficult to stand on one toe due to discomfort or weakness. If you experience these symptoms, it is essential to consult a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ankle Braces for
Achilles Tendonitis
According to medical experts, compression can help reduce the swelling of the area due to Achilles Tendonitis. Ankle braces help support one’s Achilles tendon and reduce the risk of recurrence of the condition. You can use Vero Ankle™ braces to give support to the Achilles tendon and provide much-needed compression to reduce inflammation.
While wearing an Achilles tendon brace, you need to make sure that the brace is comfortably tight. It should feel compressive through the foot and ankle. However, it should not be too tight that it cuts off circulation or causes other types of pain or discomfort. With the swelling in the foot or ankle, the tight fit can cause more harm than good.
Achilles tendon injuries can occur in several ways, with some of the most common causes being starting a new sport that requires quick foot movements or jumps, engaging in high-intensity activities, and having tight calf muscles when beginning exercise. Bone spurs on the heel, which can rub against the tendon, are another potential cause. If you experience pain above your heel, particularly when standing on your toes or stretching your ankle, it may indicate an Achilles tendon injury and should be evaluated.
If you are dealing with an Achilles tendon injury, certain exercises can help in your recovery. These include calf raises, manual resistance exercises, ankle exercises with a resistance band, straight leg raises, and short arc quad sets. In addition to these exercises, physical therapy may also be necessary to support your recovery and ensure proper healing.
