Achilles pain is a common cause of discomfort at the back of the heel, often affecting walking, running, sport, and day-to-day movement. It may present as stiffness, swelling, tenderness, or pain during and after activity.
At The Foot Clinics, across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, we assess the cause of your Achilles pain and tailor treatment to reduce load, improve tendon strength, and support long-term recovery.
Achilles pain, often referred to as Achilles tendinopathy, occurs when the tendon at the back of the ankle becomes irritated or overloaded. Over time, this can lead to pain, stiffness, reduced function, and difficulty with walking, running, or exercise.

Achilles pain usually causes stiffness, swelling, or discomfort at the back of the heel or ankle. Many people notice it first thing in the morning or during walking, running, or climbing stairs.
Achilles pain is commonly caused by overuse, sudden increases in activity, tight calf muscles, poor footwear, or underlying biomechanical factors. Over time, these can place increased strain on the tendon.
Treatment may include load management, strengthening exercises, footwear advice, custom orthotics, and in some cases shockwave therapy, depending on your presentation.
Mild cases may improve with rest, but without proper treatment Achilles pain can become more persistent and harder to manage.
If your pain is ongoing, worsening, or limiting your activity, it is best to seek assessment early so the cause can be identified and treated appropriately.
