What is Achilles tendonitis?

Achilles tendonitis is a condition of irritation and inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the ankle. Achilles tendonitis is a common overuse injury that tends to occur in middle-age recreational athletes. The overuse causes inflammation that can lead to pain and swelling. Furthermore, Achilles tendonitis can lead to small tears within the tendon, and make it susceptible to rupture.

The two most common causes of Achilles tendonitis are - lack of flexibility and overpronation. Other factors associated with Achilles tendonitis are recent changes in footwear, and changes in exercise training schedules. Often long distance runners will have symptoms of Achilles tendonitis after increasing their mileage or increasing the amount of hill training they are doing. As people age tendons, like other tissues in the body become less flexible, more rigid and more susceptible to injury.

After earning his degree in podiatry and completing his residency, Michael J. Cornelison, DPM, FACFAS joined an existing Cupertino practice in 2000. When the other podiatrist retired in 2003, Dr. Cornelison took over the practice and formed Cupertino Podiatry, Inc.

Dr. Cornelison specializes in advanced reconstructive surgery while simultaneously dedicating himself to helping patients avoid such surgery. His practice emphasizes restoring the support and function of the foot to provide long-term relief of symptoms rather than just relieving symptoms without addressing the underlying cause. He looks for the root of the problem rather than attempting to just put a band-aid on it.

Cupertino Podiatry can also fit patients with orthotics (therapeutic footwear and inserts) to aid recovery or for long-term management. And whether you are a serious athlete or weekend warrior, Dr. Cornelison can create a specialized sports injury treatment program to help you get back on your feet.

Company Philosophy

"I will spend as much time with a patient as necessary to ensure that I’ve addressed all their concerns, and to be sure that we both understand our treatment goals. I never sacrifice good care to fit more patients into the schedule. At times that results in spending more time with the patient than was allotted. But I want every patient to know that they get exactly the same consideration and time as the patient before them even if I tend to be running a little bit behind. The have the right to expect that consideration, and they deserve it."
