Every injury is different, as is every person’s recovery time from an injury, including Achilles’ tendonitis. Your doctor or a specialist in foot and ankle conditions, such as the team at Bay Area Foot and Ankle, can give you a rough estimate on the time it will take for you to heal. This will be based on the extent and severity of your injury, how old you are, how healthy you are overall and your ability to properly rest the foot and ankle to let it heal. Typically, Achilles Tendonitis can take anywhere from three to six months to fully heal and allow the patient to go back to their normal activity level. Depending on the severity of the injury and each person’s activity level, the doctor treating the injury may recommend the patient complete physical therapy as part of their treatment plan to ensure mobility and flexibility are restored, which can help prevent future issues and injuries.
