In Greek mythology, Achilles was a Greek hero of the Trojan
War who met his fate when Paris shot him in the heel with an arrow. It was
because of this that later poets began to describe Achilles as invulnerable in
all of his body except for his heel. Flash forward, and you have a pain in
your, so appropriately named, Achilles heel that is so stifling that you
yourself feel like Achilles during the Trojan War. Pain in the Achilles heel
could be caused by Achilles Tendonitis, or inflammation of the Achilles. This
is generally triggered by overuse or degeneration of the tendon and can be made
worse with poor footwear or faulty foot mechanics. The good news is that with
rest, ice, massage, and correction of faulty foot mechanics by way of custom
orthotics, pain from Achilles Tendonitis can be treated. To find out if
