The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body. Its primary function is to transmit power from the calf muscles to the heel and foot. The Achilles tendon allows people to stand on their toes when walking, running, or jumping. However, it can be exposed to injury even with all of its strength. Due to its limited blood supply and the high tensions placed on it, the Achilles heel can be vulnerable if harmed.

Achilles tendinitis is a common problem characterized by inflammation and irritation of the Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. This painful condition typically develops gradually over time and is often associated with overuse, particularly in athletes and active individuals participating in running, jumping, or other high-impact activities. Achilles tendinitis can cause foot pain, stiffness, and swelling along the back of the heel, especially during and after physical movement. While some individuals can be treated with conservative methods, severe cases may require surgical intervention, which typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Achilles tendinitis can affect one or both legs and is most common in middle-aged people who engage in sports or physical activities.
