Are you struggling with heel pain at the back of your heel or stiffness in your lower leg? You may be experiencing Achilles tendonitis, a common condition that affects the tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel.
At Mullaloo Podiatry, our experienced podiatrists provide expert Achilles tendonitis treatment to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent long-term damage.

Identifying the cause is essential for effective Achilles tendonitis treatment.
At Mullaloo Podiatry, we offer a range of podiatry services in Perth specifically designed to treat Achilles tendonitis and promote recovery:
Our podiatrists in Mullaloo perform a thorough assessment of your feet, ankles, and lower limb biomechanics. This helps identify contributing factors such as flat feet or improper gait that may be worsening your tendonitis. Imaging such as ultrasound may be required to confirm a diagnosis. Our podiatrists can refer you for imaging if required.
Our treatment plans include personalised exercises to strengthen the calf muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries.
We provide both shockwave therapy and low level laser therapy in Mullaloo which are non-invasive treatment options that stimulates blood flow, accelerates tissue repair, and reduces inflammation and therefore pain. Combining these therapies leads to a faster recovery and we can get you back doing what you love pain-free.
Wearing the right shoes is critical. Our Mullaloo podiatrists provide expert guidance on footwear that supports your feet and reduces stress on the Achilles tendon.
Custom orthotics can relieve pressure on the Achilles tendon by improving foot alignment and distributing weight more evenly which reduces strain and promotes healing. Our podiatrists will discuss custom orthotics will if they are clinically relevant to your individual condition and they believe your foot biomechanics are a contributing factor exacerbating your Achilles Tendonitis.
