As the foot pronates or supinates, a tractional pull occurs at the attachment of the medical tendo-achilles, which can over time cause tearing of the Achilles tendon and surrounding sheath. Inflammation and swelling occur around the attachment, resulting in pain. If left untreated a Posterior Calcaneal Spur may develop.
ICB Orthotics effectively treat by controlling pronation or supination, thus relieving traction at the attachment and providing pain relief.
*Also referred to as Achilles Tendonpathy or Achilles Tenosynovitis.
