Achilles tear treatment takes into account age, activity level, and severity of the injury. Athletes and younger individuals with complete tears may require surgery, while older or more sedentary patients commonly choose non-surgical approaches. Non-surgical approaches include rest, pain relievers, casting, physical therapy, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (EWST), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC), and Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT). Talk to your healthcare professional to understand available options and risks/benefits.
