Ever wondered how your body lets you run, walk, or stand on your toes? It's thanks to your Achilles tendon, the strongest and thickest tendon in your body. When this vital tendon ruptures, it can cause sudden pain and mobility issues. In this video, we’ll discuss the causes, symptoms, treatment options, and, prevention strategies for an Achilles tendon rupture.

Learn who’s most at risk and how tight calf muscles, flat feet, certain antibiotics, and even worn-out shoes can put you in danger. Understand the telltale signs of a rupture, like sharp pain or a popping sensation.

We’ll also explore treatment options, from the RICE method to advanced medical solutions, including surgical and non-surgical approaches. You'll also learn prevention methods like dynamic stretching, using Achilles splints, orthotics use, and the right footwear.
