An Achilles Tendinitis evaluation focuses on diagnosing inflammation or injury of the Achilles tendon — the large tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel bone. This condition often develops as a result of overuse, sudden increases in activity, poor footwear, or biomechanical issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What are the common symptoms of Achilles Tendinitis?
Symptoms may include heel pain, stiffness, swelling along the tendon, pain during walking or climbing stairs, tenderness in the lower calf, and a warm or thickened tendon.
When should I seek care for Achilles Tendinitis?
You should seek medical care if pain worsens, persists for more than a few days, limits mobility, follows a sudden injury, or if you hear a “pop” — which may indicate a tendon tear.
How is Achilles Tendinitis diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on a physical exam, tendon mobility tests, gait evaluation, and sometimes imaging such as ultrasound or MRI to assess inflammation or a possible tear.
Can Achilles Tendinitis be treated at home?
Mild cases may improve with rest, ice, stretching, proper footwear, and anti-inflammatory medication. However, evaluation by a medical provider ensures proper recovery and helps prevent chronic tendon damage.
Do I need imaging for Achilles Tendinitis?
Imaging is recommended when symptoms are severe, persistent, or when a tendon rupture is suspected. Your provider will guide you based on exam findings.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies from 2 to 12 weeks depending on severity and adherence to treatment. Early evaluation helps shorten recovery and prevent complications.
Can Achilles Tendinitis lead to a tendon rupture?
Yes. Untreated inflammation can weaken the tendon and increase the risk of rupture, especially during physical activity. Early medical intervention significantly reduces this risk.
Is in-home evaluation safe for tendon injuries?
Yes. Mobile providers can perform musculoskeletal exams, recommend treatment, and determine whether imaging or further intervention is needed — all while minimizing movement that may worsen the injury.
What are treatment options for Achilles Tendinitis?
Treatment may include anti-inflammatory medication, rest, stretching plans, heel lifts or orthotics, activity modification, tendon support devices, and referral to physical therapy.
Do you accept insurance for this visit?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Pricing varies depending on evaluation needs, imaging, or additional treatments. Our team can verify coverage before your visit.
What is the difference between mobile urgent care and clinic care?
Mobile care allows you to receive evaluation and treatment at home, reducing strain on the injured tendon. Clinic care offers access to full diagnostic tools and on-site treatment modalities. Both provide high-quality medical oversight for tendon injuries.
How fast can mobile urgent care arrive?
UrgentCare2Go typically arrives the same day or within hours depending on availability and your location. Early evaluation can prevent worsening tendon inflammation.
Is my information private and protected?
Yes. All visits comply with HIPAA regulations, ensuring your health information is secure and confidential in both mobile and in-clinic settings.
Can I have a virtual visit for Achilles Tendinitis?
Telehealth visits are useful for initial evaluation, discussing symptoms, providing home-care guidance, and determining if an in-person exam is needed. Severe pain or suspected rupture requires an in-person assessment.
Do you provide follow-up care?
Yes. We offer follow-up evaluations to monitor healing progress, adjust treatment plans, and ensure safe return to regular activity.
