Chicago · Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis treatment in Chicago.
Regenerative care for pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle — aimed at repairing the tendon, not only masking symptoms.
About Achilles tendonitis.
Achilles tendonitis is irritation and degeneration of the Achilles tendon, causing pain and stiffness at the back of the ankle. Regenerative treatments aim to support repair of the tendon itself rather than only masking symptoms.
An Achilles rupture — a partial or complete tear of the tendon — is a different injury. Depending on the injury, regenerative approaches may be used to support healing as part of a broader treatment plan developed with your physician.

Can a torn Achilles be treated this way?
Depending on the injury, regenerative approaches may be used to support healing as part of a broader treatment plan developed with your physician.
Do I need surgery?
Not necessarily. Our physicians specialize in non-surgical regenerative options and will only recommend surgery when it is truly the right answer.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Your consultation is free, and you will get specific numbers for your own plan before you commit to anything. Most consultations begin as a telehealth call.
Does insurance cover it?
Regenerative treatments — stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, PRP, peptide therapy and BMAC — are not covered by insurance, and we do not bill insurance for them. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds where their plan allows it, and CareCredit and Affirm Pay-in-4 are available at checkout. See financing and our published prices.
