Achilles Tendon Injuries and Ruptures
Achilles tendon injuries refer to damage or inflammation in the Achilles tendon, which is the largest tendon in the human body connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. This condition commonly occurs in individuals who engage in repetitive activities or sports that involve intense, jumping, running or sudden changes in direction.
Symptoms
Achilles tendon injuries can range from mild strains to severe tears, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking or participating in physical activities. Risk factors include: age, improper footwear, excessive, and certain medical conditions, such as tendinitis or arthritis.
Treatment Options
Treatment options for Achilles tendon injuries vary based on the severity and can include: rest, physical therapy, orthotic devices, pain management, and in severe cases surgical intervention. Diagnosis, proper management and gradual rehabilitation are crucial for a successful recovery. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for Achilles injuries can help individuals prevent, manage, and overcome this condition effectively.
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation in the Achilles tendon, the thick band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. This often occurs due to repetitive stress or overuse, commonly seen in runners and athletes.
Symptoms
Symptoms of Achilles tendinitis include pain and stiffness in the back of the leg, especially during physical activity or after prolonged periods of rest. Swelling and tenderness may also be present in the affected area. If left untreated, Achilles tendon can progress to a more severe condition known as Achilles tendinosis, which involves the generation of tendon fibers.
Treatment Options
Treatment for Achilles tendinitis typically includes: rest, ice, compression and elevation, along with stretching and strengthening exercises, physical therapy, and in some cases, the use of orthotics are braces. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist, or worsen as early intervention can prevent further damage and promote faster recovery.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are a common injury that occurs when ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn. These ligaments connect the bones in the ankle joint, help stabilize and support the joint during movement. Ankle sprains can occur as a result of a sudden twist or in the ankle, often during sports or physical activities.
Symptoms
Common symptoms of an ankle sprain include: pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected ankle.
Treatment
Treatment for ankle sprains typically involves: rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce pain and swelling. Physical therapy exercises may also be recommended to improve strength and flexibility in the ankle. It is important to see medical attention for ankle sprain to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term complications and promote a full recovery.

Dr. Bishop and his team got me in last minute after my referral got lost between my PCP and their office. The front desk was polite and helpful. Their paperwork was minimal. X rays were quick and waiting time in the room was minimal before Dr. Bishop came in. He explained everything clearly and have me a copy of all of his recommendations before asking me to schedule a follow-up visit.
Dr. Bishop and the staff at Cascade Orthopedics have been professional, courteous, and the surgery that I just had went extremely well. I couldn’t ask for better results.
Dr. Cary Sanders is a very knowledgeable and compassionate doctor. He explains things very well. I highly recommend him. The office staff is very friendly and helpful also. Ben Baird is also top notch and has given me numerous cortisone and lubricant injections on my knee. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Bishop and he has our highest recommendation also.
Dr. Sanders has been seeing me regarding my knee for the past 4 years. After all the years of dealing with knee pain and injection shots, it has been agreed that it is time to get a knee replacement. Dr. Sanders and his staff are incredible.
Everyone was great. Hardly any wait time. The doctor was very knowledgeable and drew a picture of what’s going on in my elbow. Received a shot, it’s feeling better already. Definitely refer anyone that needs an orthopedic doctor.
My little guy got the best care here after breaking his arm on the trampoline. We seen Benjamin Baird, PA, and were impressed with his genuine interest and kid approved humor. We hope we aren’t back anytime soon, but if there are any more breaks, we’d choose Cascade again.
Dr. Brandon Bishop and the Team at Cascade Orthopedic were exceptional to work with. From the first appointment, to my surgery and to the last appointment, they treated me with compassion and professionalism. I have recommended Dr. Bishop to my friends and will continue to recommend him.
Dr. Sanders, from Cascade Orthopedic Specialists, did a much needed right kbee replacement for me in October 31, 2024. I received top level care from their staff, both pre-op and post-op. Hospital care and treatment at Mercy was excellent. Rehab at Theropy Plus was painful for the first two weeks, but healing came quickly. I now have great range of motion and living pain free with my new knee. Thank you, everyone.
