Achilles Tendon
The Achilles Tendon is the tendon that runs up from the calf muscle up and down to the calcaneus, or the heel. People commonly injure their Achilles tendon playing a sport, if they have a fall or as they age and tendons degenerate. An Achilles tendon injury can be complex, and is more difficult to treat later down the road, as the muscles become deconditioned.
