Can an ankle brace help with Achilles tendonitis?

The correct ankle brace will definitely help with the pain and swelling associated with Achilles tendonitis and also allow you to regain mobility while your tendon heals. The TriLok Ankle Brace is a great choice for dealing with Achilles tendonitis. Let’s quickly examine the causes of Achilles tendonitis, and then we’ll explain how the TriLok helps.

What is the Achilles tendon?

The Achilles is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It connects the calf to the heel bone and can withstand a great amount of stress. The Achilles tendon lifts the heel off the ground when the calf muscles flex during walking.

What causes Achilles tendonitis?

Despite its strength, it is still susceptible to overuse and degenerative injuries. Achilles tendonitis most commonly causes pain at the heel of the foot due to inflammation of the tendon. If left untreated, the injury can develop into Achilles tendinosis or the degeneration and micro-tearing of the tendon. Achilles injuries are most commonly caused by repetitive overuse or a sudden, direct force.

How will an ankle brace help treat Achilles tendonitis?

An ankle brace can help treat the swelling and joint instability caused by the Achilles tendon injury. Medical-grade compression decreases inflammation and enhances the recovery process. The TriLok Ankle Brace utilizes a FootLok strap to support the arch and promote proper alignment throughout the ankle joint, which helps relieve excess pressure on the Achilles tendon, allowing it to heal.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
