Dr. Henne DPM Discusses Achilles Tendonitis

Tim sm

As a runner himself, Dr.Henne has struggled in the past with Achilles tendonitis.  We can get you into our Podiatry Offices in Clermont or Leesburg Florida to get a thorough evaluation. Sometimes runners know that when they see a fellow runner like Dr. Henne he will try his best to avoid you from having to stop running. "My goal is to keep you running and avoid downtime if we can. I will always have your best interests in mind, so sometimes that does involve a period of immobilization if absolutely necessary. But as a runner I get it, I feel terrible when I have to take time off from running!"
