Relieve Heel Pain with Achilles Tendon Surgery at Dignity Health

Achilles tendon surgery repairs the tendon located at the back of your heel. Tendons are thick cords of connective tissue that anchor muscles to bones. The Achilles tendon anchors your calf muscle to your heel bone and is the largest tendon in your body.

Achilles tendon surgery may be necessary if the damaged tendon is interfering with your ability to be active. The tendon may be partially or completely torn (Achilles tendon rupture). Your doctor at Dignity Health may recommend surgery if nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy fail to help within six months. Our goal is to restore your ability to push off with your heel without pain or disability and reduce the risk of repeat tendon injury.

If you’ve tried other treatments and haven’t found relief, consider achilles tendon surgery in Sacramento or a surrounding area at Dignity Health.
