YES! Apolla socks are beneficial for individuals with tendonitis as they provide targeted compression to the affected area, which drastically helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. This compression also improves blood flow, aiding in the healing process. Lower limb tendinitis, like Achilles and peroneal tendinitis, can particularly benefit from Apolla compression socks.
There are two styles that we recommend for tendinitis, our first recommendation is Apolla Compression Mid-Calf Sock because this style provides the highest level of support Apolla currently provides.
If you do not like the mid-calf profile, you can opt for wearing the Apolla Compression Crew Sock, this will give your arch and ankle nice support, yet keep you mobile throughout the day with a profile that hits softly below the calf.
If you are looking for socks that offer you more support, and will help speed up your recovery time, we suggest the Apolla Compression Mid-Calf Sock. In addition to the increased support, it also has the most graduated compression to make blood return more efficient and helps decrease the recovery time needed for your feet/ankles.
It's important to note that compression socks are not a standalone treatment and should be used alongside other treatments, like rest, ice, elevation, and physical therapy. Consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
What is Tendinitis?
Tendinitis (also known as tendinitis) is a condition that occurs when a tendon, which connects muscle to bone, becomes inflamed or irritated. Tendons are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that transmit the force of muscle contractions to bones, allowing us to move our joints.
Tendonitis can occur in any tendon in the body, but it is most commonly found in the tendons of the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. The most common causes of tendonitis are overuse or repetitive motions, which put stress on the tendons and cause them to become inflamed or irritated. Other factors that can contribute to the development of tendonitis include injury, aging, poor posture or body mechanics, improper equipment or technique during physical activity, and certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes.
