What is Achilles hydrodilation?
Achilles hydrodilation is a targeted injection procedure for Achilles tendinopathy — persistent pain and stiffness at the back of the heel or lower leg. It involves injecting a high volume of fluid around the Achilles tendon under ultrasound guidance to break down adhesions, reduce pain, and create space for the tendon to move freely.
You may also see this referred to as a high volume image guided injection (HVIGI). It is a well-established technique for patients who have not responded to conservative management alone.

An initial consultation is required before any injection procedure. Final pricing is confirmed following assessment.
Who is it for?
Whether hydrodilation is appropriate for you depends on several factors, which are assessed during your consultation:
Symptom duration
How long you have been experiencing Achilles pain and how it has progressed over time.
Previous treatments
What you have already tried — physiotherapy, rest, exercises, other interventions — and how you responded.
Diagnostic imaging
Previous MRI or ultrasound findings that confirm the extent of tendon involvement.
How we assess and plan your treatment
Clinical diagnosis
Physical examination and detailed symptom history to understand the nature and severity of your tendinopathy.
Previous imaging
MRI and ultrasound reports are particularly valuable for Achilles tendinopathy — please bring any previous imaging to your appointment.
Ultrasound-guided procedure
The hydrodilation procedure is performed under real-time ultrasound guidance — ensuring precise needle and fluid placement around the tendon.
Integrated physiotherapy rehabilitation
Unlike many injection-based services that stop at the procedure, Revive-Restore includes a linked physiotherapy rehabilitation pathway. The goal is not just short-term pain relief — it is full functional recovery.
After your hydrodilation procedure, you will be supported with a structured rehabilitation plan developed in coordination with physiotherapy, ensuring you are not left to manage recovery alone.
