- Achilles Tendon Injuries
The two types of Achilles tendon injuries are tendinosis and tendon rupture. Tendinosis is soreness and stiffness that get worse until treated. Achilles tendinosis is a common injury among runners. Achilles tendon rupture is a partial or complete tear of the Achilles tendon. The injury comes on suddenly, sometimes makes a popping sound, and is debilitating.
