Treatment typically involves rest, ice, non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents (NSAIDs), and physical therapy. A heel lift or orthotics may also be helpful, but evidence on both heel lifts and orthotics is limited. Foam rolling may increase range of motion, but there is only weak evidence for the direct treatment of stiffness. Other treatments include: * An eccentric exercise routine designed to strengthen the tendon. * Application of a boot or cast. Injections The evidence to support injection therapies is poor. * This includes corticosteroid injections. These can also increase the risk of tendon rupture. * Autologous blood injections - results have not been highly encouraging and there is little evidence for their use. Procedures Tentative evidence supports the use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Exercise Rehabilitation The treatment with the highest level of evidence for<unk>  Tendinopathy is exercise rehabilitation. The following information is an example Exercise Rehabilitation program from the Clinical Practice Guidelines,<unk>  Pain, Stiffness, and Muscle Power Deficits: Midportion<unk>  Tendinopathy Revision 2018" Heavy-load, slow-speed full range of motion heel raise exercises, performed at a speed of 6 seconds per repetition are encouraged. Example exercises include: # Seated calf-raise machine # Heel raises with a barbell on shoulders # Heel raises on a leg-press machine Treatment should include a 12-week program which increases the resistance progressively. * Week 1: 3 sets of 5 repetitions * Week 2 & 3: 3 sets of 12 repetitions * Week 4 & 5: 4 sets of 10 repetitions * Week 6, 7 & 8: 4 sets of 8 repetitions * Week 9, 10, 11 & 12: 4 sets of 6 repetitions
