Questions people often ask
When is Achilles ultrasound useful?
It is useful when symptoms are persistent, swollen, unclear, severe or not improving with a sensible plan.
Can I run with Achilles pain?
It depends on severity and response. Training load often needs adjusted while capacity is rebuilt.
Does ultrasound replace rehab?
No. It can inform the plan, but Achilles recovery usually needs progressive loading.
