Achilles’ tendons can be treated both op and non-op (so they “all” don’t require surgery-but definitely need ortho follow up to arrive at a treatment course).

Corrections at ~00.34 Pt has difficulty plantar flexion not dorsiflexion. Just misspoke since gets it right later.

Anand S. -

Great catch, Nich. Should definitely be difficulty with plantar flexion. Thanks for keeping us honest!

Jasmin A., MD -

Thanks for a great format! i really like listening to the daily dose.
Like Dennis I just wanted to add that surgery is not necessary in many cases (although a surgical consultation always is).
Best Jasmin
