ACHILLES TENDON PAIN IN MISSISSAUGA- TAKE THE PAIN ONE DAY AT A TIME

The Achilles ligament or heel line, otherwise called the calcaneal ligament (Latin: Tendon calcareous), is a ligament of the back of the leg, and the thickest in the human body. It serves to append the plantar is, gastronomies (calf) and soles muscles to the calcareous (heel) bone. These muscles, acting through the ligament, cause plantar flexion of the foot at the lower leg, and (with the exception of soles) flexion at the knee.
