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.
