What reason is with tendinitis?

summary

Many people have foot pain, but they don't know it's actually heel tendinitis. However, they pay more attention to their own body and don't go to the examination, which eventually develops into a more serious disease. Achilles tendon is composed of tendon fibers that connect the muscle group of the posterior leg with the calcaneus, and the tension is transferred to Achilles tendon through muscle contraction. Because the cross section of Achilles tendon is much smaller than that of muscle, about 1:60, the unit tension of Achilles tendon is much higher than that of muscle. Today, let me tell you what is the cause of tendinitis?.

What reason is with tendinitis?

First: Achilles tendinitis refers to inflammation of Achilles tendon. Generally speaking, Achilles tendinitis is caused by too much pressure on calf gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon during exercise, such as running. In addition, a sudden increase in the intensity and frequency of exercise will also cause the occurrence of Achilles tendinitis, and flat arch will increase the risk of Achilles tendinitis, because flat foot will cause extra pressure on Achilles tendon when walking.

Second: the pain, soreness, tenderness and stiffness above or inside the heel will become more serious after the activity. It may occur in any area of the Achilles tendon, and the pain usually occurs in the morning or during the rest period after strenuous exercise.

Third: in general, Achilles tendinitis will be improved after a period of self-care (such as rest, ice compress, taking over-the-counter analgesics, etc.).

matters needing attention

It has been proved that eccentric exercise is effective. It may be that special eccentric exercise can stimulate the mechanoreceptors of tendon cells, produce collagen, help reverse the circulation of tendinopathy, and achieve the purpose of treatment. Animal experiments confirmed that proper tendon loading could promote collagen arrangement and collagen cross-linking, and both of them could promote the tensile strength of collagen.
