Dr. Lin Yunfei
Achilles tendinitis can be treated under a doctor's guidance with diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets to relieve pain caused by tendonitis, suppress local inflammation, and prevent the condition from worsening. Electrical stimulation therapy may also be chosen to promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism. In addition, intense exercise may lead to congestion and edema of the Achilles tendon soft tissues, resulting in ruptures and causing local aseptic inflammation.
