Expert Calf Muscle Pain Treatment in London
Relieve calf pain and restore movement with targeted muscle care. We treat triceps surae injuries using precise diagnostics and personalised therapy in London.
What Is Distraction of the Triceps Surae Muscle?
This condition involves overstretching or microtearing in the gastrocnemius and the soleus—two muscles collectively known as the triceps surae. They attach at the Achilles tendon, and damage here may cause pain in your calf, difficulty walking or jumping, and muscle weakness.
You may experience:
- Sharp pain in the back of the leg
- Swelling and tenderness
- Burning pain, bruising, or a dull ache
- Difficulty bearing weight
- Pain and tenderness during movement
What Can Triceps Surae Muscle Treatment Help With?
Our treatments address:
- Calf muscle pain due to strain, tendonitis, or trauma
- Chronic compartment syndrome and tightness
- Soleus muscle pain treatment and gastrocnemius injury
- Post-exercise muscle strain or cramps
- Swelling or inflammation affecting the leg muscles
- Pain in the calf from overuse or poor biomechanics
We evaluate possible causes of pain and provide relief through both non-surgical and surgical options when needed.
How Does Our Calf Pain Treatment Work?
Non-Surgical Care (First Line)
- Physical therapy exercises focused on eccentric loading and flexibility
- Over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory support
- Ice, rest, and compression to reduce swelling
- Correction of gait or alignment to reduce pressure on your calf
Advanced Diagnostics
- Ultrasound or MRI to evaluate calf tendonitis, tears, or calf injury
- Blood tests for inflammation or blood sugar levels in metabolic causes
Interventional Procedures
- Dry needling or PRP injections for muscle strain injuries
- Biomechanical assessments to address causes of calf pain
Surgical Intervention (If Required)
- Minimally invasive surgery for persistent muscle tears
- Tendon transfer or repair for Achilles tendonitis
- Reserved for cases where nonsurgical treatment fails
What Causes Triceps Surae Muscle Pain?
There are many causes and treatment routes depending on the injury. Common factors include:
- Overuse, sudden movement, or impact (e.g., sprinting or jumping)
- Poor stretching or lack of warm-up
- Achilles tendonitis or rupture
- Varicose veins, poor circulation, or blood clot forms leading to symptoms of DVT
- High blood sugar contributing to chronic muscle strain
Symptoms May Include:
- Pain may increase during walking or after exercise
- Calf pain may worsen at night or after sitting
- Signs and symptoms include swelling, cramping, and discomfort
- Difficulty standing on toes
- Pain or discomfort after prolonged use
If left untreated, calf injuries can become chronic and limit function.
