Fact or Fiction: Achilles tendon injuries always require surgery?

Fiction.

Greg M. Neely, MD explains that not every Achilles tendon injury means a trip to the operating room.

Some injuries are partial tears.
Some are incomplete ruptures.
Some can heal with the right non-surgical treatment plan.

The right approach depends on several key factors:
- Where the injury occurs
- Whether it is a complete rupture or partial tear
- Your activity level & age
- Your goals for recovery

If you are dealing with heel or lower leg pain and wondering what comes next, our orthopedic specialists can help you understand your options and create a plan built around you. Because recovery is not one-size-fits-all. 👟
