Achilles tendon injuries can be treated conservatively if the degree of injury is mild, or surgically if the injury is more serious.
If the degree of Achilles tendon injury is mild, for example, mild sprain, you can choose conservative treatment, braking and resting, cold compresses within 72 hours to reduce swelling and pain, and hot compresses after 72 hours to promote local blood circulation and relieve pain.
Pay attention to the appropriate temperature when applying cold and hot compresses. Avoid walking and foot activities as much as possible, walk with a pestle and crutches, and reduce the weight bearing and movement of the Achilles tendon to avoid secondary injury.
If the Achilles tendon injury is severe, such as an Achilles tendon rupture, surgery should be performed.
There are other treatment options for Achilles tendon injuries, so you should go to the hospital in time for your doctor to choose the appropriate treatment according to your condition.
