At U-M Health, we treat Achilles tendon ruptures, tears and other conditions with an integrated approach that uses the skills of our surgeons, physicians, therapists, physiatrists, radiologists and others who are directly involved in your care. We work collaboratively to make sure all appropriate avenues of treatment are considered and applied. And, in this way, we develop an individual plan of treatment just for you. 

You're about to make an important decision, and we want to help you make a good one. Our staff will be glad to talk with you about your options and how we can help.

We will take a complete health history and do a physical examination to determine the severity of your condition, the mechanics of your foot and the areas of your pain. We will also look at information from your referring physician, if there is one. We may need to take additional tests to determine the extent of your condition. 

Afterwards, we may suggest specific physical rehabilitation, pain management or a combination of the two. Then, if non-surgical treatments don't work -- or if they haven't worked in the past -- we will explore surgery as an option.
