  • How long does it take your Achilles tendon to heal?

    It all depends on if it is just inflammation versus partial or complete rupture of the tendon. If you are able to rest or immobilize with a cast or cast boot, it may relieve the tension on the tendon. If it is ruptured, whether partial or complete, may require a cast or surgery. Tendons in general heal very slowly. Give yourself at least 3 months for recovery. READ MORE

    The pain could be anywhere from micro fracture, contusion, tumor, soft tissue strain, periosteal reaction, rheumatological issues, to medication reasons.

Get to know Podiatrist Dr. Hermoz B. Ayvazian, who serves the population of Glendale, California.

Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, Hermoz B. Ayvazian is a board certified and fellowship trained Podiatrist with Glendale Foot and Ankle Podiatry Center. At Glendale Foot and Ankle Podiatry Center, their qualified, professional podiatrists understand the afflictions of the feet and the complications that can arise from them. Constant foot pain isn’t something that you just have to deal with. In fact, it’s not something that you should deal with in the first place. Letting your foot discomfort linger can ultimately lead to bigger problems, including lower-back pain and issues with your hips and knees.

Additionally, he is affiliated with the Glendale Adventist Medical Center, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Glendale Memorial Hospital & Health Center, and the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center.

Dr. Ayvazian graduated with his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Degree from the California College Of Podiatric Medicine At Samuel Merritt College in 1990, giving him nearly three decades of experience in his field. After obtaining his Medical Degree he completed his internship and residency with San Francisco General Hospital And Trauma Center. Furthering his training he completed his Fellowship with the Physicians Community Hospital.

Dr. Ayvazian is dual-certified in Foot Surgery and Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. The American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) strives to protect and improve the health and welfare of the public by advancing the art and science of foot and ankle surgery.

To stay up to date in his field he remains a professional member of the Los Angeles County Podiatric Medical Society and the American Podiatric Medical Association. APMA's staff, comprised of approximately 60 professionals, is dedicated to promoting foot and ankle health, member service, and professional excellence. Looking toward the future, APMA will continue to advance the growth and stability of podiatric medicine by increasing nationwide awareness of foot and ankle health through public education and legislative advocacy.

Dr. Ayvazian additionally speaks Armenian, Persian, and Spanish.

Podiatric medicine is a branch of the medical sciences devoted to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders resulting from injury or disease. The human foot has a complex interrelation with the rest of the body, which means that it may be the first area to show signs of serious conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
