<p><strong>Achilles Tendon Rupture: Lifestyle Changes and Self-Help</strong></p>
<p>Tendon rupture could occur suddenly but you experience pain and discomfort for quite some time prior to rupture. Constant use and stress on tendon eventually leads to rupture. Hence, do not ignore the initial symptoms. Consult doctor as soon as you feel pain or develop swelling in tendon.</p>
<p>Initial treatment as soon as tendon injury starts is to rest tendon, apply ice packs, compress the region and place leg on an elevated level. Normally, swelling and tenderness of tendon increases with activity. Although you are able to walk and stand on your toes, tendon problems could be developing. Rupture could occur abruptly.</p>
<p>Acute pain in calf muscle indicates a partial tear. Consult an orthopedic surgeon. Heel pads, shoe inserts, or special supportive boots can alleviate pain and swelling immensely. Early treatment relieves pain and injury.</p>
<p>Practice your toe raises regularly. Push up on your toes as far as possible and thereafter lower down as far as possible. Repeat this many times. This improves toe and tendon strength. Range of motion is important as it improves tightness of tendon. Start with simple stretching exercise to graduate into exercises of higher intensity. Apply linear stress on tendon as this stimulates connective tissue repair.</p>
<p>Visit your doctor for regular checkups after tendon rupture surgery or treatment. Follow doctor’s advice diligently and resume physical activity as and when advised.</p>
