There's no onesizefitsall treatment for Achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy. However, there is a treatment approach that works best for most people, and this is backed up by research. In this video, Treat My Achilles cofounder Maryke Louw explains this approach. She also cautions against other treatments that are useless or may harm your Achilles tendon even further.

The video mentions heel lift shoe inserts to help your Achilles pain to calm down. Here are some examples on Amazon:

Ailaka gel: https://geni.us/pZUEZ
