Achilles Heel Pain Specialists in Atlanta
The Achilles tendon extends from the heel bone to the calf muscle, connecting the two. Its primary role is to lift your heel off the ground when walking, running, or jumping. While your Achilles tendons are the largest and strongest tendons in your body, they’re also subject to frequent stress, making them prone to injury.Â
When you suffer from Achilles heel pain or experience an injury to your Achilles tendon, you may feel your treatment options are limited.
Unlike muscles, tendons don’t receive significant blood flow that delivers healing oxygen and nutrients. Due to the size of the Achilles tendon and the lack of healing blood flow, it can be challenging to find Achilles heel pain relief.

Conditions Causing Achilles Heel Pain in Atlanta
Since the Achilles tendon plays such a critical role in movement, injuries and conditions stemming from overuse are common and include:
Anterior Achilles tendon bursitis
Posterior Achilles tendon bursitis
Achilles tendinitis
Achilles tendinosis
Achilles paratenonitis
Achilles tendon rupture
Most of these conditions result from overuse, repeated movements, or poorly fitted shoes.
Ankle Pain Specialists in Atlanta
The ankle is a complicated joint. It is more accurately called the ankle joint complex and is a connection of three joints that come together to create the impressive biomechanical function of the ankle.
The ankle joint complex includes the subtalar joint, which connects the talus and calcaneus tarsal bones; the tibiotalar joint, which joins the tibia and fibula to the talus; and the transverse tarsal joint, which is found inside the subtalar joint.Â
Each part of the ankle is essential for it to perform all of its necessary functions. However, this complexity can make it difficult to find quality practitioners for ankle pain relief in Atlanta.

Non-Surgical Orthopedic Care
Often, orthopedic pain results in surgery, regardless of whether it’s the best treatment for the condition. While surgery is worthwhile in some scenarios, many orthopedic conditions don’t benefit from an operation.
Our non-surgical orthopedic care begins with taking the time to fully understand your pain and where you are in your healing process. Then, depending on your injury, you may benefit from temporarily immobilizing the joint, draining excess fluid, undergoing joint manipulation, or other treatments that can offer relief without necessitating surgery.Â
Platelet-Rich Plasma InjectionsÂ
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulates soft tissue recovery using growth factors found in the platelets, the cells in the blood that heal wounds. We use your blood to create super-concentrated PRP, a natural substance that can help repair your injury and offer long-lasting pain relief.
Trigger Point Injections
After you experience an injury, the muscles around the wound can tighten, forming knots that cause pain as they develop to protect your injury site. Trigger point injections identify and release those knots, restoring comfort and range of motion.Â
We often combine trigger point injections as part of an integrated treatment plan at our Atlanta Achilles pain center.Â
Stem Cell Therapy
Atlanta Innovative Medicine proudly offers adipose and bone marrow stem cell therapies to replace and repair damaged joints and tissue, healing your injury instead of masking your pain with medications.Â
Stem cells are unique as the only cells that can divide to form specialized cells, such as muscle or bone cells. During stem cell therapy, we extract stem cells from your bone marrow or adipose (fat) tissue and inject those cells into your injury site, where the cells differentiate into the type of tissue necessary to heal your source of pain.Â
Other Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Our ultimate goal is to help our patients eliminate discomfort so that they no longer need to rely on medications and surgeries to participate in the activities they love. In addition to the treatments detailed above, we also offer:
We offer multiple approaches because we want our patients to have access to the best treatments available for their needs.
